Glenariff glen (Sun 10 - Mon 11 Dec)
« on: January 05, 2010 »
Hi All,
Myself, MG1 & Billybackpack are planing an overnight in Glenariff forest park followed by a hike in Glenariff glen the next day.

As always everyone is welcome and any thoughts to possible additions could be worked into the route.

 : ;D

Can't stay the night but could drop in on Sunday for a hello if you don't mind? Where and when are you meeting?

You would be more than welcome.

The plan so far:

Provisionally meet at Larne around 3pm, head to Glenariff forest and find a safe place to leave a car and head up towards Trostan for an overnight camp.

Nothing set in stone yet but we will keep everyone on the forum updated during the week.

We are really hopeful some others on here will join us but if not it's understandable given the days chosen. (or is it the inclement weather  :D )

As the other Guy's are not familiar with this neck of the woods we are probably going to meet at Killyglen crossroads then either go via Cairncastle or head down to the Branch road to the coast and on round to Waterfoot.
 
Although given the current weather conditions it may be wise to stick to the main coast road.

Are you talking about the crossroads at the chapel or the staggered crossroads at the country end of the killyglen road?

So is Trostan on the aganda then? I thought it was just the glen. Good stuff. So Paul will we be seeing you at camp then?
