Portrush

I noticed that in the big car park at the Ramore Head end of the Port that kerb stones and an entrance have been constructed. I can only suppose that a height barrier will be in place.
Motorhomers go elsewhere.

Down in the Port yesturday. Looks like Ramore Head will be a pay and display accessed with a barrier. There will be parking around the edges facing the sea, but they are single bays and too small for the average MH. The only down side it it will drive the MH to park on the road outside the B&B's. Not go down to well with the B&B owners and will be bad PR for us MH'ers. Maybe part of the next plan will be double yellows outside the B&B's. Hopefully they will get the Aires sorted out behind the Fire Station before Easter.

I can,t see it being a very big aeries as that is also the tour buses set down park as well unless they change the park for buses to somewhere else. There was nothing wrong with Ramore Head for an aeries I think as it was more adjacent to the centre of the town for shopping and a much better view than looking into the rear of a fire station on one side and a roadway on the other, but there again that,s only me thinking out loud .

We also have a Static on site in Portrush and I know from listening to the workmen on the site that the site owners anywhere in Portrush or Portstewart areas do not like the idea of having a parking area for Motorhomes at all as it is taking revenue from them ,however I don,t see it like that as the Motorhomers are self sufficient and if the site owners were a bit more sociable and helpful the Motorhomers could use the facilities like showers etc they need on any site for a small fee . I have personally seen Motorhomers who were coming to our site to visit friends and were told their motorhomes took up too much space in the car park outside the gates and were reluctantly allowed to park for a short time.

I am sure any town would be happy to see motorhomes staying at the moment. With the economy at its worst in years it is very short sighted of any chamber of trade to keep motorhomes out.

Agreed.

Very short sighted indeed, but we have to remember they are not Motorhomers, they know nothing of what we do, what we spend and what we need in the way of facilities.

Easy to say "go away" when you don't have the facts.

Hi, My van was one of 62 that parked at Ramore for the 2012 Air Show.
Friday night was fine.
Saturday night was disturbed with the Racers revving their engines at 2.30am!
On the sunday a blue car with a man and woman drove up and down the rows of Motorhomes blasting the horn!
The air show was good. Portrush has improved with the spruce up.
the traffic wardens said if you can get your wheels inside the box it,s ok!
Ramore is handy for the town and the tennis courts is where the Helicopters land.

Dave. p.s. If they are going to restrict the parking we will have to be up on thursday night!

it was at the fire station this happend not ramorehead sorry

Bob nice one ,but I think you would have to work it out for most of the them as they have just enough brains to keep them from eating themselves
