looks it's like me +2

[suspectmonkey]

So whats the plan, are we all meeting at the Bloody Bridge car park then?

I think I am definately going to go for an out-and-back route, but was thinking of just going as far as the top of Hares' Gap.  Thought might save heading all the way down Hares' Gap and the Trassey Track (again ) and shorten the route slightly for any one a bit worried about hacking the full distance.  Myself included!  Apologies in advance for my not so glamorous mapping software, but thinking something along the lines of this:

So that would be 8km each way, 16km total or just shy of 10 miles.  Just a thought...

I was planing to start at the trassey....have I missed something

[chris]

yeah i thought we were starting at the trassey too

The topic of the thread is "Brandy Pad - East to West" 

[suspectmonkey]

Start at meelmore-Brandy pad-Bloody bridge and back again?

I was planing to start at the trassey....have I missed something

Sorry, re-read the thread from the start and you did say Meelmore > BB... my mistake!  I just assumed BB > Meelmore because of the thread title and JT had mentioned it

Personally I'd rather do BB > Meelmore, simply because I've never walked from BB before and all I ever seem to do is walk up the Trassey Track and over Hares' Gap

Well think me and joan had hoped to do an out and back route, with a nice bacon,sausage, an egg soda to finish with at meelmore ..........

LOL they are good mind you.........maybe if we all  meet at meelmore and car share the ones who want to do one way from bb..?

[666_pack]

sound like a plan there spark. #

hi jon looks like your sorted with a bloody bridge start too. Sometime I can't see whats right in front of my face(thread title.)

for us doing the out and back route a trassey start (I also fine myself on this trail more than I want to be ) The draw of a sausage, bacon, egg soda is to much of a draw.

And hopefully we all can have a coffee and a chat at the end

There's an outside chance I might still be able to make this one but wont know until Sunday which is a bit of a pain.
