Boo hoo I would be all over this but have had a night out arranged from before Xmas. 

Great idea though, my new tent needs a test.

Had it up in the back garden and is easy enough to put up.  Well in daylight it's easy.

So what's the deal with throwing the dart,will it be done on the day or within a days notice.looking forward to this,do we rule out farm- lands,dangerous terrain,or sorta just try to get an area as close to the spots we can.

What if the dart lands in the middle of one of the reservoirs? That would be a damp bivvy alright!! Lol

We're planning on launching the dart this weekend to get our Final Destination. This will allow us to select our starting point/carpark and have a fair idea how far we will have to hike.

We haven't decided exactly who will chuck the dart, or where it will take place.  There may even be a blind fold involved.  All will be capture on video and posted this Sunday evening.

Farmland and reservoirs etc will be ignored... We will be "Aiming" for the inner Mournes and somewhere fairly remote but, the dart will have the final say  ;)
