Kayakgirl wants to escape the midges by heading for a summit camp this sat night, hoping to get along myself and knock this one off my list. Should be a great spot to watch the sun set from. Also there's that WW2 plane wreckage nearby which would be worth looking for next morning.

Honestly, would love too.  But seeing a band in Belfast on Saturday. 

Also, how would this work out regarding climbing on the Sunday?

EDIT: I'll see if I can make this.  Fingers crossed.

I'd be up for it.  Wouldn't know where to park the car though?

Also, what would be the best way to head up Chimney Rock?  I was thinking along the Mourne Wall, then walk north west, to south east along the smooth gradient.

Will drop my number to your inbox guys.  Just in case I'm not around to check the forum.  Would you mind letting me know if there is any changes to the plans?   :)

Honestly don't know.  The weather, is looking very flakey.  Hail stones one minute then sun shine the next.  It's definitely going to be close for me getting up there - by the time I leave Belfast I'm sure it will be at least 6/7pm.  Though, this will be the last week I'll be off work for sometime.

I'm wondering - apart from LandyLiam and Kayakgirl, did anyone else get the time to do this?

The only time I don't bring my gear with me from home, and the only time I can make it.  Ah well.  Maybe next time!

Pretty much everything to be honest! I was saying to LandyLiam it would have been nice to try out my new sleeping bag.

To be honest with you I cant make it as tomorrow will be a busy day and to get up home and back again in time for Lisa's MOT and then up to Chimney Rock will be tight. Plus I borked her computer so now have that to fix lol.

However please take lots of photos to rub it in. :P
