I've also been hearing it's "black saturday" in newcastle, which is a marching thing, so newcastle will be bunged and a nightmare to get through.

Quite a few parades on Saturday in the Newcastle area.  Dont think there will be any obvious way of avoiding them though as the neighbouring towns such as Castlewellan have parades on as well.

You could take the right turn after Dundrum heading towards Bransford then take the long way round the mountains to Carrick little car park.

Yeah, probably best way of avoiding Newcastle.  There is a parade on in Bryansford but it looks fairly small in comparision!

Looks like it's gonna be a windy one.

its always windy on the summits  but at least there is plenty of shelter at the campsite, well for the first 4 or 5 up there anyway

Yeah, I've been keeping an eye on the weather and the wind had caught my attention.  AccuWeather has the mountain forecast with 16 m/h winds for this afternoon/evening but with gusts up to 32 m/h.  Its blowin' a gale in my rather sheltered back garden so I imagine its gonna be rather windy on top of Binnian.  Still happy to go up there and check it out, but I can see a night in Annalong Wood coming up

Will be good practice

Rofl... Nice one Chuck 

[LandyLiam]

excellent 

I have to drop my son off to work in Newcastle (will have fun with the traffic  ) so i reckon i'll be at the car park about 6.30pm, so if i go straight up the wall at the stile i reckon on hitting the summit about 8pm

If I wasn't such a big girl, doing an overnight in the Persey Bysshe cave sheltering from the wind and rain would be pretty cool.

pps. any spare talkie walkies kicking about? Anyone fancy leaving one under a wheel arch in Carrick little?

[RedLeader]

Yep, I'll leave one under the front drivers side arch. Channel 6.
