I'm planning on the same though.

I don't know the stage, but check out as many YouTube onboards as you can find. If you have a look for 'Irish Corner', it might be worth heading there.
Can we just stop this 'Irish Corner' nonsense! There isn't enough room there to accommodate a big crowd. It can only end in tears!! Up hill hairpins are rarely spectacular.
