Transport Options
CAR- People can travel by car and head into the Fota main gate and drive over and park in the main carpark of FOTA HOUSE. We would prefer if people could car pool where possible. It will be at 10/15 minute walk from the carpark to the Fota Scout Campsite. Exit from Fota House Carpark will be €3 per car.
TRAIN- People can travel by train from Kent Station to the Fota Island stop. The closest timed train departs Cork at 13:00 and arrives in Fota Island at 13:15 (you would need to be at Kent Station well in advance of 13:00 to ensure you make the train) Fota Scout Campsite is only a 2 minute walk from the Fota Island train platform.
Check www.irishrail.ie for other train times and please remember their is NO public parking at the Fota Scout Campsite
- Everyone must start to assemble at the entrance to Fota Scout Campsite for 13:20
- All uniformed members must be in full uniform
- Scouts should bring a change of clothers with them to keep their uniform clean while taking part in the activity bases
- Some people might want to bring a packed lunch or a flask with them if they haven’t eaten before hand. Don’t worry though we will be giving refreshements to all those in attendance.
