Fofanny is good for me :) I think we should aim for that as our camp.

When I marked it out it was 22 also (thought I was missing something lol)

The route through tollymore is different on my 2 os maps.....using the newer one there is less in tollymore which might explain a mile or so. Distance aside its an awesome hike. Gonna bully my friend into lending me his light tent, my coleman is a bit heavy. coal men usually are :)

Ok guys, Final plan is.

Meet in Donard wood carpark between 0900 - 0915 on the 28th. I will get a large taxi or several to take us to Rostrevor at 0930. The walk will then start at 1000.

The night before Dave and I will stash some fire logs and some shandys near Fofanny and will then camp at the picnic area at Donard Cove (about half a mile outside of south Newcastle) if anyone wants to join us.

I'll have to have a look at the buses, I'm not sure if they run that early.

Good idea at stashing the firelogs though.

I'll have to miss this one out this time around, I couldn't make it into Newcastle for that time.

I'll be up for another one if anyone feels the need to do it again at some point.

If people want the could meet us at Fofanny on sunday and walk from there or meet at rostrevor and walk to Fofanny.

I will leave the logistics in your hands if you want to do that.

I really fancy a go at this.. I have a tent, bag and a waterproof jacket. Still waiting on my bloody stove turning up, so I might have to try and blag using someones to cook with if it doesent turn up.

I'm not mega fit, but walked the towpath that's 10miles handy enough. So reckon with a bit of grit and some nice views this should be do-able.
