My only concern is about the gates, do they close at a certain time?

No. Tha gates are open late. We can ask the security man when we're there.

Hi Guy's as usual I'm in..................posting has been difficult recently with work load and all but have been able to keep an eye on things.

So since we're talkin routes, has anyone thought about going over the "camels humps" it has been a while since I was up there and it involves a little off piste but once there you can come up the rear of the nose on the quarry side across McArts and down the scree past the nose to the caves if we feel adventurous enough and back to the car park.

The 'camels humps' sorry will only do those in daylight they involve quite a bit of scrambling, also the scree is no longer safe to cross ,you would need to dig out footholds

As I say been quite a while since I was up close and personal with those areas so its good to get advice but as they say "its the thought that counts"

I wonder does anyone have any other thoughts for interesting routes ?

I'm game for any route but it would prob be easier to start from Belfast City Castle car park. It's easy for everyone to find.

I checked this out today. The main entrance gates via innisfayle park are never closed. the security man said it might be ok to park in the carpark directly beside the castle......

All meet at the carpark on the left just before the security barrier at Belfast Castle at 6pm. Easiest place to find!
