We'll keep this thread for discussions about the hikes we want to do and start a new post for each actual hike. 1) Meelmore & Meelbeg - 8 Jun 10 - http://www.ni-wild.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=11202) Donard / Commedagh Saddle - 15 Jun 10 - http://www.ni-wild.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=1169
Before Christmas we had a bit of fun doing short night hikes. Basically we'd all meet somewhere at 7ish on a weekday evening, do a circular hike/peak for a few hours and generally be home around midnight or so. Does anyone fancy kicking it off again? With the longer evenings technically we could wander somewhere, make something to eat, then wander back. Seems like a great way to explore and squeeze in some exercise through the week. |

Up for this (doing it at the moment already but tend to get off the mountain by sun down). Tues/Wed suits me best. There is room for four (five?) in my jeep if anyone handy to Hillsbro' wants a lift.

We should pick off the hills we haven't done yet instead of going over old ground

Yep. I need to tick off Meelmore and Meelbeg to complete my seven sevens dancecard. Not sure how you guys would do it but here's a sneaky (read: bit hairy but quick and no doubling back on yourself) way of doing Meelmore and Meelbeg...start at Melmore Lodge...go up their wee path way....over the stile...then keep going straight up...follow a grassy gully up on the left, it's steep but do able.....pause at the top for a cracking view of Hare's Gap etc....from there on it's easy, head for the summit...then hang a right along the wall....over the Meelbeg...then down the valley to either Fofanney Damn or the car park at the woods...finally quick sprint along the wall back to Meelmore Lodge...would be do-able in an evening. |
