"Flip Me"  Under statement of the year. 

Heh... I have no actual climbing experience or equipment so I don't think I'll be going up the Howling Ridge.

This picture here, which is only the first pitch apparently, says it all for me.  :-\

I'll not rule out the Howling Ridge immediately, I'm usually game for anything, but I guess we might have two teams from NI Wild taking seperate routes.  ::)

I have booked the 23 Aug off work to recove for this so caher with wild camp at the lake just below the ridge line would be good for me.

Are we still going for the 21st and 22nd?

I have a car as well

I'm definately going.  I'm off work Friday 20th thru to Monday 23rd inclusive.

I have recently lost access to my Wife's X-Trail but I am still happy to drive my own car which will still carry 4 plus gear comfortably.  I do have to warn you though it's a gas guzzler so petrol costs will be a tad higher.

Could everybody keen to go please post here asap and I'll edit my original post with a list of definates.  Also include the time that you are available from on the Friday for setting off, and if you are flexible for the Monday bearing in mind it is a 7 hours drive, not including rest breaks etc.
