Fred's in WH Smith at Stansted
End of the Line 1: Dún Laoghaire to Howth, Ireland - 29th October 2025
We're in Ireland for a few days to see Da Gorls, but for a change are staying at the Royal Marine Hotel in Dún Laoghaire. After the first evening, where we'd visited nearby Sushida restaurant, we do a short walk along the pier, then - with Fred staying at Da Gorls' house - we head off on the DART to explore the very northern end of the line at Howth.
