So I'm bringing the tent :)

Hope there's room in there for about 10 ;)

Well the porch is quite spacious ;)  Price to be agreed on a sliding scale depending on how bad the weather really is ;D

If you can get a bit of discount then the Montanes are worth every penny.  I took mine on the WHW and they were the only trousers I wore day in, day out for about 10 days!  They are light, comfortable and seem to repell dirt and mud easily as mine still looked clean despite all the rain and mud we had been through. 
....
By the way Tim, do you need a lift or anything tomorrow night?  I will be passing through B'hinch so will be no problem collecting you on the way.

Ye I'd tried them on in the shop last week and couldn't believe how light and comfortable they were, compared to my Berghaus Navigator trousers which I'm used to. Hopefully I'll be getting a new sleeping bag in the morning as well as I need a new one for going away, as my 15+ year old karrimor sleeping bag just isn't gonna cut it in sub-zero temperatures as low as -25°c, so I may be testing it out tomorrow as well.

If you're passing through and you're sure it's no trouble then that would be great Jon, thanks.

I'll be coming over late with Andy too. Not sure about coming all the way from Meelmore @ 11pm. Might come from Bloody Bridge.

Pity you cant make it Matthew!  If you change your mind I'm going to be driving so can give you a lift, just drop me a PM or phone me.

The Mournes look largely dry from tea time tonight until lunch on Sat. Wind is more of an issue.
I'm bivvying either way - fuck it!

Cheers for the offer, but the tent is packed and all :)  Mind you, looks like the weather is all set to clear up later this afternoon so I think we should be in for a dry night into tomorrow morning.  Excellent!

So who all is meeting at Meelmore at 6.30pm?  Just so we don't leave anyone behind!  I make it:

Kat
suspectmonkey
Tim
MikeD
Chuck

And the fellas coming later on are:

billy backpack
dowser
J

Sound about right?
