Re: Help me plan a trip to Dublin & Glasgow
I've been to Glasgow in late March and it wasn't terribly cold (maybe I was lucky). I didn't care much for the city, and if you have enough time, I would recommend driving north through the Highlands. I believe I saw most of it in 2-3 days.

Re: Help me plan a trip to Dublin & Glasgow
pj,
Heh, a lot of these cities are dark and cold at this time of year. You could ferry to Liverpool then get a train to Manchester. Manchester is pretty cool, it's basically England's #2 city so there is obviously tons of stuff to do. I just have trouble actually thinking of anything, cos when you live nearby you don't tend to actually ever go to any of the stuff a tourist would, ya hear? |

Re: Help me plan a trip to Dublin & Glasgow
I don't want to do touristy things... I mostly want to go out, drink 7 pints of Harp, and listen to some trance DJ spin in front of a floor where 300 24 year-old Brits are dancing their arses off.

Re: Help me plan a trip to Dublin & Glasgow
Hey PJ,
Nice play on Geosense.. Definitely rigged in your favour...even my work colleague thinks so ! Anyways on your trip to Dublin/Glasgow.... Dublin is great...Expensive out there for touristy stuff, but as you said you won't really be doing that you'll be fine... Its not that cold out there either...All my friends have been but I never have... But am planning to in the very near future... Glasgow...I preferred Edinburgh, but compared to other cities in the UK, I wasn't a big fan of Scotland as a whole. If you do go to Manchester...The sunday night would be the best night (10th) to go out on as opposed to a monday or tuesday ... however, I'm not too sure of exactly what goes on that early in the week in Manchester...I have many friends up there...I'll ask them what they would suggest... If you did come to london...midweek is always pretty lively so I'm sure you would be able to do something... So it depends on exactly what you wanted to do and how long you was over for... If you were going to stay in London - I would suggest a Travel-Lodge or something... in fact, if you stayed anywhere in the UK, if you booked it that far in advance you would get it fairly cheap ! |

Re: Help me plan a trip to Dublin & Glasgow
Probably be easier and cheaper to catch a flight from Dublin to Manchester or Liverpool.
Check out Ryanair and Aer Lingus. Flights from literally 1c. |

Re: Help me plan a trip to Dublin & Glasgow
Just wrote a long post and IE crashed so i'll give you the jist of it.
If you're coming to Glasgow on the Sunday and want a good night out for dance music then head to Subclub in the city centre for their 'Optimo' night. It's not trance, rather techno with some other stuff thrown into the mix but always a very good night. Buses from Glasgow-Edinburgh are cheap, a few pounds. I'd recommend spending the monday in Edinburgh - it's a beautiful city. |
