Also if Suspectmonkey is heading back to Bangor it might make more sense if I bounce with him back to Bangor seeing that I'll be heading to Helen's Bay, then Spark can take my place in Billy_Backpackers van, and either get to Belfast or up to Larne, might make for some less driving? Just a thought?

I'm happy enough either way, but seems like a logical suggestion if it suits everyone.  As you say, can finalise it over the weekend then, but will make sure no one is stuck

Looks like we picked the right weekend. Wonder if it will be overly wet underfoot after the snow and heavy rain. The Glen and Trassey rivers might be swollen.

[666_pack]

wet underfoot I can deal with better than it falling on you

[RedLeader]

So I'll see you crowd of nutters in Meelmore at 9am in the morning.
If anyone wants my mobile number just send me a PM.

[simon]

I just managed to spill blood over the backyard by solving the following equation head+sharp_metal=hole+blood ... but I shall still be coming along tomorrow morning.

I'm heading to Meelmore and should be there by 9am, but I'll PM J my mobile number just in case.

What route are the Meelmore peeps looking at taking? I kind of fancy doing the drop down to the reservoir and Lamagan, but if you don't fancy that then I'm not going to drag you along! If I (or we) do that then we should meet the other group at before we ascend Lamagan or on the summit, which means we should know what time they are going to be there at. I reckon a prompt 9am start from Meelmore would mean 10:30 at the foot of Binnian/Lamagan - if the Carrick Littlers start around the same time they could be there about 10:30ish too depending on how fast people are walking with more-than-daypacks and hpw many stops there are for photographs and the like.

Anyhoo, just getting that one out there for people's perusal.

[Kirth]

Gutted I am missing this, I will be sitting at the side of the Pitch shooting Crusaders v Coleraine, Plus I hate football!

I was in Newcastle today and it was amazing weather, called into Meelmore to use the loo and was talking to two guys who had just came down, said it is very wet and heavy in places, but great to be up there.

I still plan to head up with my friend on Sunday from Trassey Track to the wall, think that is more than enough for me. Will keep an eye out for a group of Ragga Muffins on the hills.

[Spark]

All sorted for the morning wooooooooooohoooooooooo............ Mr Billy Backpack is a star.................

[Kirth]

Well Guys, How did you all get on?

[RedLeader]

We had an awesome time.

[666_pack]

Hope everyone made it back to normality safe and sound and I'll look forward to see you all soon

[suspectmonkey]

Had a crackin' weekend, best fun I've had in the hills for quite some time!  Thanks for the invite to come along, really friendly bunch and I learnt a lot as well.  Hope to get out again soon, and be a kilo or two lighter as well
