The 8th and 9th sept are a Tues and Wed I'm heading to Ibiza on the 9th.
How about 28th - 29th August, it would really round off the summer
I'm back on the 16th and the MMM is te 19th&20th so i could go 26th/27th Sept but could only manage a day trip don't wanna push my luck to much.
I'm easy so once a date is set the action is go.

What about a weigh in at the start of the hike..........just for fun?

Just for fun ........... it sounds a little competative to me so are there going to be rules.
For instance , essentials that must be carried or minimum amounts of whatever ?

Let's not get too carried away :D You could jog up Bernagh in your underpants wearing flipflops and carrying a few energy bars.... I'm happy with trying to get as light as possible and then we can all compare. If needs be we can settle any competitive needs with arm wrestling :D
Let me get this straight then.....ur all gonna be arm wrestling at the top of bernagh in ur underpants and flip flops??? An theres me thinkin u were a civilised bunch ... :)

I have my solo planned for that weekend but we could meet at the saddle for morning brew!
It's that solo camp i think will be the real adventure. :o But as I said you can count me in for that first brew ;D
if you wanna give your old legs a strech what about we walk the brady pad and come back to the hares gap the long way over commedagh.

How about sat Berneagh,Meelmore and Meelbeg.
Sunday-Brandy pad,Commedagh,Corragh and Knaglock(i can't spell)
What you think guys? Its hard getting time in the hills so i think we should do as many as possible when we can.

so Jonno,
how are the knees holding out? Have the lads words of motivation and encouragement fallen on deaf ears?
As regards pack size I can fit all my kit into a light weight 40ltr pack but I really don't trust its construction (3kg of water rolloing about in there). I could us my issue bergen but that bugger must weigh 3Kg empty. So last night I loaded up 65Ltr and its looking like I'll have to go with it (after spending £80 on a tent i really can't justify a new pack when I have one that is fit for purpose), but my kit list has not changed more space does not = more kit.
Hi Andy,
Those pics have got me really stoked about this If I can even get thta view for 5 mins then it'll see me right to next summer.
good man chris see u at the summit.
Bring it on lads. Do we have any final numbers or location for camp sorted out yet?
Green rain is the best type 8)
Hi Guys
I'm chris' plus one, which sounds quite weird I have to admit!
Just thought I'd post for the first time and say I can't wait for saturday night!
O and can anyone tell me which side the bernagh slabs is on; is it the hares gap side or the steeper one- I can't remember?
