• Overnighter - Antrim Hills: August 13, 2010 - August 14, 2010

[ChuckMcB]

an hour from Dromore

Via Annahilt (or Hillsboro') perhaps? (If I get clearance from SWMBO)

ps. I've got Laragh Lodge as being BT44 0RG and 1hr25 from Dromore.

[Scribble]

I can't get cover so won't be able to leave dromore until 8 but I would def come pick you up where ever suits and a nice little night(ish) hike to meet up with others if your up for it .. You can hold the map :-)

[ChuckMcB]

Yup, sure (subject to clearance)...I kinda know the the first bit of the route....may as well be the pair of us getting lost in the woods then just one...

[RedLeader]

Do either of you guys have radios?

[Scribble]

No prob I will keep an eye on the permission slip as I'm still working on mine :-)

No radio here J but what's the mobile signal like up there

[RedLeader]

Honestly not sure about mobile reception but I suppose there's a good chance that they should work.

For anyone meeting at Laragh Lodge tomorrow, here is a link to a Google Map with the exact location.  Laragh Lodge do have a website, but from memory the map they have on there isn't actually where the car park is.

Lenny, I will drop you a PM this afternoon to organise a lift.  We never leave a man behind    

[RedLeader]

Bit of a change of plans - Suspectmonkey isn't well so he wont be joining us tonight. Am thinking for ease we hit the Mournes instead?

That way if Chuck/Andy are coming a bit later it will be easier to find us, plus we'll be in more familiar territory. I reckon a peak somewhere.

[RedLeader]

Okay, new plan - Me, LennyJ and Chuck for a summit camp on Slieve Meelmore leaving from Meelmore Lodge. Would say the best time we could expect to be there would 745.

I've attached a route.

Allcomers welcome as ever.

[LennyJ1]

Route looks good J,

I will be ready from half 6.

[ChuckMcB]

See you at Meelmore Lodge (or on the trail if I get itchy feet and leave the house a bit early)

[RedLeader]

No probs, just txt me to let me know. And get the kettle on

[RedLeader]

Anyone bringing a firelog?

Also, if it's clear we should see some meteorites from the Perseids.. We saw loads last week in Meelmore - saw the Milky for the first time too!
