We shall initially meet at 3.00pm in the Parke's Castle car park, which is on the regional road R286 between Dromahair and Sligo. The in-car SatNav coordinates for this car park are N54°15'53.4"; W08°20'04.1" (or N54.264823, W08.334466).
After taking a few photos of the castle and the lake we shall move on to a bigger car park around 1 and a half kilometres away (about a mile) on the shores of Lough Gill heading towards Sligo and maybe take a few photos of the lake from there. The in-car SatNav coordinates for this second car park are N54°15'49.1"; W08°20'59.6" (or N54.263646; W08.349901).
Finally we shall move on to Hazelwood, and expect to be there by 4.00pm. We shall park at the big car parking area on the shores of Lough Gill. The in-car SatNav coordinates for this third car park are N54°15'29.4"; W08°25'33.8" (or N54.258159; W08.426050).

Currently
the weather is promised dry but maybe cold - so bring warm clothes with
you and maybe even a flask with a hot drink in it as well. Rain gear may
be an idea as well, just in case the forecast has it wrong.
