We'll just meet up there, I'll fly a Jolly Roger so people know who's who  8) We'll light a small fire for cooking and warmth.

Good stuff!

There's nowhere I know that is advertised as actually being secure but we've always parked in Donard Park car park at the foot of the trail. It has cameras and is a pretty busy spot and we've never heard of there being an issue. I suppose there's always risk everywhere.

Hey, is there somebody with whom I can meet before the final point (as a new in the country and with some experience, but not enough to go by myself)? I'll go with the bus in the morning from Belfast and I'll be in Newcastle between 10 and 11 a.m.

You're welcome to dander up with me, Matt, Stepstew and SpecimanYak. We might be there a bit after you though. We're planning on leaving Belfast at about 10am so we'll likely be setting out walking at about 12ish. Though our timekeeping isn't always just brilliant ;)

Sounds that this could be good.  It could turn into to a Midgefest though with being low down, near forest and water.  I'm checking with son if he could go, not sure yet.  I'll let you know if it is possible.  Have a good one though!

Great stuff, hope you can make it. Midges are definitely an issue in Donard Forest at this time of year, however, it's due to be quite windy this weekend, I'm hoping that will keep them at bay.
