BUSY WEEKEND AHEAD FOR BUNDORAN

March 4th 2013 - This weekend sees the 3rd Annual Cara Bundoran Challenge - this year with a difference in that a 10km run has been added to the route also - so if you're not up to 10 miles then you can always try out the 10k! There's still time to register - for more details you can check out the Event Website
Of course it's also Mother's Day this Sunday too! There are lots of great restaurants in Bundoran for that special family lunch or if you're thinking of staying the night check out the accommodation section of this website for some great offers from the Discover Bundoran partners.

SEPTEMBER SWELLS AND NATURE'S DENTIST

Well Folks, the children are back at school and many of you will be thinking about new courses and a change of lifestyle for the autumn. Congratulations to everyone starting College or apprenticeships at this time. As I write the wind is strong and blustery in Bundoran but remember it's only Nature's dentist and it will pass.  I'm reliably informed that September is THE best month in which to surf in Bundoran as the swells are good, the water's still warm and there are fewer out on the breaks. You have no excuse. Get your wetsuit on and get here. Also a good month marking the start of the shellfish season again. Mmmmm. 

 

We don't stop the fun in Bundoran just because the Summer has passed and there's loads happening over the next few weeks. 



Of course, it would be totally remiss of me not to mention the BIG DEAL for us here in Bundoran is that the Donegal Team are the GAA All Ireland Champions for 2012. The town is bedecked in green and yellow bunting and flags and every day another wall or building is getting a makeover in the team colours. Special greetings from Bundoran to our friends in Mayo with whom we work closely in promoting the North West and Ireland West Airport Knock. I've only ever met one of the Donegal Team: Karl Lacey was very supportive to us last year when the European Surfing Championships were held here - a real gentleman and has been known to surf! Well done to the team and everyone is welcome to share the celebrations.

Whether it's a hooley or a quiet break away you're looking for we'll find the right spot for you to base yourself. Check out the latest offers in accommodation and activities on the RHS column and also what's happening in Events and Facebook and Twitter. 

KEEP IT RAILWAY AND ALL STEAMED UP

Bundoran is proud of its heritage as a railway town. If you like Steam Engines make sure to visit on 26th and 27th September when 3 steam engines will be parked up for viewing on 26th and will leave Bundoran on 27th September to begin an epic journey to Enniskillen as celebration and commemoration of the Fermanagh/Donegal rail route that closed in 1957. This event is just one part of a series of events that takes place throughout September celebrating the heritage of the great Northern Railway Line.

We in Bundoran are particularly excited as the airport is only 70 minutes down the road from us and served by seven Bus Eireann scheduled services every day. Now you have no excuse to visit us!
