not much fitness really needed, you only have to walk up from the base ben crom dam with a few tools, no real heavy digging to do but if that was too much then get a set of knee pads and do some hand shovelling... its not a chain gang you know  ;)

Yup, that's about it. There was all ages at the first one I did, they always find something for you to do that matches your capabilities.

Bring your old waterproofs, it can get muddy. If the heavens do open, they stop and the big bothy bag they have comes out and you either wait it out or knock the whole thing of and back to the van (it's in their best interest not to scare away their volunteers).

Not seen a schedule as such. They just seem to email out when they are thinking about doing it.

Feel free to email Alan.Whitcroft@mourne.co.uk (he's the part time volunteer coordinator) saying that your interested in path work or general helping out, he'll add you to the mailing list. Liam and I can also post when we hear anything.
