one last thing where does the pipe come from with the fresh water

If your walking from the hares gap to commedagh following the wall, the pipe is on the right side of the wall about half way up commedagh.

I spotted that pipe when we were descending Commedagh on Part Deux of the Mourne Wall Walk (I only did Part Deux!). I'm curious where the pipe orginates from though... when I saw it I was a bit skeptical that some one would have kindly plumbed in some fresh running water to the side of a mountain Any ideas?

Boil it. and all should be good.

I read somewhere that the pipe was put in for the boys building the wall. I drank about a litre of it straight from the pipe and had no ill effects.

Hey Big E, I see you have the Gelert. Whats it like? I just got it not taken it out yet.

hey lenny, the Gelert is a squeeze, i'm about 6'2" and i just fit lying flat on my back, but i really liked it. There's really good air circulation inside and it seems like a strong tent. This was the first time i've used it and it didn't rain but i had the seams glued and also sprayed the outer with Fabsil, just in case. If you have a walking pole bring a extra peg and some rope to hold the door open and make a kinda porchy bit. There also just enough space to inbetween the inner and outer to store some bits and bobs.

The picture was taking from the top the bearnagh.
