    How long do you plan on staying in St Johnstone? You'd need about 2-3 weeks to really do everything that can be done in St Johnstone to be honest.

    I recommend the bi-weekly cow-tipping competition and the well reknowned clubs where the local folk go at the weekend to dress the same, act the same and fight.

    Only messing, Donegal's a great county and most of the people are too :giggle1:

    If the weathers good, take a scoot up round fanad head, nice wee bars up there to grab a bite or a pint in. Surf club down at the caravan site too if you's fancy a bit of the water. Plenty of good beaches in Donegal. If the weathers good just head to Fanad, Portsalon, Kerrykeel or Bundoran or something. Always something for the wee ones to be at.

    And in the good weather you'll no doubt be surrounded by us Derry * heading into the hills to catch some rays :cool:

    Ulster final is the 16th of July. Donegal have been in the last 6. If they make it again it would be well worth taking in. The final is in Clones, Co Monaghan at least a 90 minute drive but well worth taking in if you have transport.

    Traveling around Donegal would take some time. The journey from Malin(most northerly point in Ireland) to Glencolumbkille(highest sea cliffs in Europe) would take you 2hrs 41 minutes according to route planner. Where to go and what to do would depend on where you are based and what you want to see/do.

    There's usually a Bob Dylan festival in Moville around July I think.

    Great wee town for a night out.

    Probably crawling with Derry wans though.

    Letterkenny is a great spot for going out in, there's a few seaside towns quite close like rathmullan or downings. Stjohnstine only 20 mins from letterkenny

    Family have a house in Moville. Never encountered a Derry wan any time I've been there for a night out.

    Gods country up there, stunning place for a walk along the shore. Place has more pubs than people as well.

    Moville folk more likely to go to Derry. Opposite journey would be bizarre.

    We ended up on a bus to some place called The Bailey last time we were there.
