Ben Crom Shelter Stone Bivvy Tonight
« on: July 22, 2011 »
Given that the weather is fantastic and the recent talk of the shelter stone I am planning to head down later tonight for a quick bivvy and home at a reasonable time in the morning. If you fancy it give me a shout.

Very easy red, there is a path down from the gap below bearnagh most of the way but as far as I remember you have to cross a riverand keep it on your right as you head down

From what I know you head to the steps for Bearnagh, instead of going up them you contour to the left of them and follow a track down.

We'll probably not at camp until after 9 so hopefully they'll be gone by then.

Its pretty simple theres a trail leads you down to Ben Crom from the hares gap.
I think its the kilkeel river runs into Ben crom cross it and your not far from the shelter stone.
Have a good one guys, would love to go tonight but wouldn't be able to get a babysitter sorted.
Bring midge spray ;D

A half day off work today, car packed with big plans to head to Slieve League in Donegal for a bivvy and stuff, but a couple of immovable objects got in the way at the last minute ::) ....so it looks like I'm slumming it in the Mournes  ;D

Will join you if I may?

Trying to get out of the house shortly to have a wee explore somewhere. If anyone's about feel free to give me a shout.

Anyone got any plans for Saturday? Getting down to the shelter stone should be an easy enough toddle ;D , so I'm thinking about another explorer of Ben Crom itself (caves and summit) if anyone's up for it.

I can't make it I'm afraid :(  Would love to go but I'm booked up this weekend... Have a good one though, looks like you'll get great weather.  I expect plenty of photos :)

Everyones welcome as ever! We're only leaving Meelmore at 730pm so it will likely be 9ish before we're at the Shelter Stone.
