Re: Getting to Knockree
Hey there, I walked this yesterday - it is quite pleasant. The bus fare was E1.85. Make sure the bus is for Shop River. The other 185's go to Palermo. The providers with coverage are O2 and vodafone. Apparently O2 is better. My meteor SIM is only getting 2G at the front of the hostel. WiFi is currently only from the regional free broadband - hostel system could be repaired today.

Re: Getting to Knockree
M - Here is a map of the arrivals area of the airport: http://www.dublinairport.com/Libraries/Maps/Arrivals.sflb.ashx Typical arrangement with baggage claim, customs, and then shops. I propose that we meet on the other side of customs, at the Jameson Bar (though perhaps there won't be time for a drink if we are to keep our schedule, leaving at 6pm. Depends on how timely our flights/bags are). Normally I'd tell people to look for the red-head, but in this case, that probably won't help.. ;) That is indeed me on the LinkedIn page, though that's a bit of an old picture. I just snapped a couple new ones with my phone. I'll look exactly like that -- same clothes, same backpack, etc.. Here are the pics: http://imgur.com/a/sNNJY As for phone -- My phone won't be working there (I'll need to pick up a local SIM @ Vodaphone or similar), so we wouldn't be able to communicate that way anyhow.

Re: Getting to Knockree
I also just noticed that Tomaž Muraus is arriving at roughly the same time (he put an entry on the RideShare page saying he need s ride from the airport, Friday @ 6pm). Perhaps we should attempt to coordinate with him as well? We could travel to Bray station together, and depending on time/weather/mood finish off the last leg w/ bus walk, or call for a ride from our ASF friends.

Re: Getting to Knockree
My travel plan then looks like this: 5:35pm KLM 3159 Arrives at Dublin Airport 6:00pm 747 Bus leaves Airport 6:45pm 747 Bus arrives Central Bus Station --- Walk to Connolly Station, buy ticket, etc ~10 mins 6:54pm/7:09pm DART leaves for Bray Station 7:39pm/7:54pm DART arrives at Bray Station 8:05pm 185 leaves from Bray Station 8:35pm 185 arrives at Shop River stop --- Walk to Hostel ~40 mins 9:15pm Arrive at Knockree Hostel Sunset is supposed to occur at 9:15pm, so this works quite well. Weather should be partly cloudy, with 95% chance of rain between 7pm and 10pm in Enniskerry, so I might need to bust out my rain jacket on the walk to the hostel. I'm from Portland, so this is perfectly acceptable, as it's constantly raining here, and my backpack is *seriously* waterproof.
