Had a wee look at the weather.... looks like some rain on sat but nothing major. Dry night and clear skies for sunday but as always it can always change.

Really looking forward to this. Weather for saturday looks promising but sunday will be a wet one. If all goes well I think this will be a future classic.

Probably a bit beyond my level of experience and fitness but best of luck, hope it's a top weekend!

My weekly jaunts round Cave Hill don't seem to be helping my fitness. Might have to try some jogging *gasp*

so, trip went well and everyone made it back in one piece! I'm getting together a full trip report and should be posted soon. The summit gully on Ben Crom is dangerous and not to attempted. Its wet, and slimey and not fun.
