The only downside to going outdoors is having to come back inside.

Your wee sponge/scouring pad need only be half the size it is.  Get it cut and let me know what the new pack weight is ;)

I think you are doing rightly.  I can't quite work out how you get all your gear in to your rucksack for one night in the Mournes nevermind 2 weeks!

C'mon Lenny a bit more drama needed from you.  How are you shaping up?

And don't do a Suspectmonkey!!

Cheeky :P  But I couldn't agree more :D

All the best guys, you're going to have a fantastic time and the craic will be mighty from the minute you step on board the train from Glasgow!  You both have done loads of prep so there's nothing left to do but enjoy it :)  Can we track your progress anywhere?  Are you going to link your Spot Messenger up with a service like Social Hiking?

I had a laugh at your photo Dave with the food portioned out.  Looked rather familiar to me...

I hate to tell you all but I have had to pull out as last week I pulled my musles in my lower back training.

Dave knew that it happened sraight away and that I was waiting to speak to the doctor this morning.

She did advise me not to go as I could do more injury, so I am not going anymore.

I feel really shitty dropping out last minute and dave knows this also.

I'm sorry to hear that Lenny. Must be heart breaking.

Is the mission now cancelled for both of you or is Dave carrying on himself?
