What to do in West Cork in pissing rain?!

[GingerAndTheBiscuits]

Made it to the beach yesterday but the forecast is atrocious for next few days. 2 adults, 2 kids under 5, have car! All ideas considered!

How West are you? Fota Wildlife?

How West are you?

Next stop America... We're down by the Mizen. Did Fota last year!

Ahhh, can't really help then, am better with east of the city!

Are you near Bantry? Bantry House is beautiful

I think Bantry may be destination of choice tomorrow. It is absolutely lashing down! Hasn't let up all day.

Well then, there is no option but the pub so!

Second Bantry. Otherwise beer and Monopoly.

I know wet sand is the devil's own work but would you not still go to the beach? Wellies and macs?? We did.

Sounds like a day for a drive and lunch somewhere though...

Couldn't face it today middling - we did however drive to Schull (both kids fell asleep and it rained even harder - at least the crepe place is open again this year so we've added to the to-do list) so we decided against getting out and drove back again, haha! Eating chips and drinking a pint overlooking the beach and the 4 hardy souls I can see "enjoying" the weather!

Clonakilty the model railway village.

Granny has volunteered to mind the children so we can go for more drink tonight. Honestly when I was small and medium we came to the same place I remember always being in the pub but my two can't be kept occupied long enough for us to do that. There were a load more of us kids here though so I guess we minded ourselves

Not sure where the "medium" came from in to post above!

The post. Jesus, I've only had one!

I think there is a famine museum in Skibereen---- helpful

Weather warnings on the radio.. Pub for sure

I know is a bit of a hike from mizen but there is a lovely play centre in Skibb. Just off the access road on the schull side. It's called the treehouse and is great particularly for your age group. We passed a v wet morning there a few weeks ago!

God not the model railway museum. Anything but that. Pub of course!

Aw I love the model railway. Well I don't really but the kids seem to knock an hour out of it and I love that.

Saw signs for treehouse! Hadn't realised that's what it was. Excellent! That will earn us 10 pints!

The Skibb library has a lovely children's section too

In fairness, Brittas was abandoned last week as I couldn't face it in the rain.

Awww the joy of an Irish holiday

You'll all be glad to hear it is merely overcast today

Practically Mediterranean Ginger. Good news

The ewe experience is worth a trip - strange but brilliant www.theewe.com/

Also worth a look is a boat to Garinish Island
