I bought Paddy Dillons book The Mourne Walks today, I think it is great.

The next walk I wold like to do is the Full brandy Pad satrting at Bloody Bridge and Finishing at Trassey Road.

Have any of you guys done this one? and more importantly, could I do it? I am so scared of biting off more than I can chew and getting caught out.

Looks like a nice walk though.

I fancy this one myself. Until this weekend I'd never been on the Brandy Pad but now I've walked the part from Donard/Commedagh to the Trassey. It wasn't too bad - decent path and not too up'n'down. Though, it's hard to tell whats too hard for anyone - you just need to experiment and always have an out if you find you've bitten off more than you can chew.

If ya want to arrange it for a few weeks time I would defo be up for it. Would need a few cars for start / finish.

I'm game. Would need cars at Bloody Bridge and Meelmore Lodge.

I can take my car and give a lift to anyone

I'd be up for this as well.  I did the Brandy Pad from Meelmore Lodge to just past the quarry which is fairly close to the Bloody Bridge last summer.  Was a miserable day though, so I'd like to do it again in hopefully better conditions

Mind you, I'd prefer to start at Meelmore Lodge and finish at Meelmore Lodge.  That way I can start my day with a pot of coffee and finish it with a(nother) sausage & egg soda

Just want to check you realise this means you have to walk double the distance

That would be a 16 mile round trip, no way I could do that.

do you fancy this one stain might be a good MMM practice route. Start at meelmore-Brandy pad-Bloody bridge and back again?

[RedLeader]

Could a 2 router again. There and back for some and just to Bloody Bridge for others. I'd be keen to being the small boy to do the Pad.

How about trying to set something up for the 7th Feb?

Sounds good not sure bout dates though my weekends are pretty much out the window for a while.

[666_pack]

if we can't make this one I def think we should give it a blast when you have a window.

Are you talking day trip or overnighter?
