Went up to the HQ at the Gleneagle and Behron Hotels. HQ not formally open as yet, but we found a programme. It comes with an excellent map (lot of detail, just the right scale) of where the stages run and in the programme there's information about the good places to watch on each of the stages. The route is incredibly compact and 3 stages a day should be easy for each day, if not more.
We ate at the Kayne Bar / Bistro tonight. John reports that the lamb roast was adequate but not spectacular, which was a perfect description of the veggie curry too. The Smithwick's beer was good.
We moved to the Danny Mann Inn in the centre of town which was populated mostly by middle aged diners. However, the live music was great - a duo of guitar, vocals and fiddle playing some traditional Irish music including some humourous and fun songs balanced by some seriously emotional stuff. Great. Scary prices for the beer though - challenging London prices!
