Guys do we know who all is going on this trip cause we need to get it arranged. At the min i think we might be leaving cars at Meelmore lodge and getting transport to Carrick little so we need to know numbers and times? Its an open invite so anyone can join in the more the better.

Under 10k is awesome. Have you given up on the ready to eat boil in the bag meals?
