I'm afraid i've never seen another bongo in this country. Though my wife has ... N***AAW same as ours but with extra height.about a month ago
I bought the first one I clapped eyes on.
we've had it since late october

Saw one in Whitehaven, Cumbria at christmas though :P
then another in Scotland close to Newtown stewart :P

Still a cause for great excitement when we see one

MELLYARNOLD stranraer/troon to belfast is another option visit the lakes and SW Scotland on your way and arrive in the unspoilt north .
I think swansea ---cork is another option

Hi dara Good to hear from you. Some years ago we went from Stranraer
to Larne and drove to Bushmills on that magnificent corniche. Such beauty we could not believe, and Ireland is definitely greener than
here. And what a welcome! Hope to camp over there some day.
The weather was beautiful not much rain at all ! (1991)

Hello Dara, the last time we were in good ole Ireland, last October 12 months, we travelled from Wexford to the Ring of Kerry, then onto Dublin, to Donegal, then back to Wexford. I did see one other Bongo, we parked next to it on the ferry back to Wales.

We hope to see many more when we return[/img]

Hi to our Irish bongoliers. Planning to do some touring around N.Ireland in July with my daughter and wondering if you can recommend any campsites. We'll be travelling in the bongo across from Liverpool to Belfast on the ferry. We plan to go up to Giants Causeway/Portrush area for a couple of days. Then down to stop off in Co. Down to visit my family in Newry. Moving along to the Dublin area. Need sites with electric hook-ups that will accomadate 2 night stays. Would be grateful if you can pass on any info........oh and you decide to have a bongo bash while we're there , all the better :D :D

Hi Jan.There are only 2 sites near Dublin and it depends on what your priority's are.Camac Valley is 4 star so is the best to go to.It's popular so book in advance.You could travel by bus into the city from here.North Beach is 2 star and further from the city.Its easier to get a pitch and its near a beach :D Check out http://www.camping-ireland.ie/dublin/dublin.html for more info. Would 2 bongo's count as a Bongo bash :?:
