Are you planning to walk all the way to Bloody Bridge from Carrick Little? That was one of my original thoughts but I don't think I'll be able to get down early enough. What ages are the kids? There are already two 12 year olds going.

We were up at end of May and when I phoned him a couple of days before I used NI-Wild Brandy and BBQ trip as a reference and he remembered us.

Me, Citiz3nsane, binlandenisdead +1 and kids are going to do a walk. We are thinking of upto blue lough from carrick little and see what happens from there. We will be down earlyish to get the hotel erected  ;D ;D

Will give frank a ring today no probs.

Sounds good. As long as he knows how many we think are coming it shouldn't be a prob. Plus you'll be down earlier than us so you can just pick a spot. Just make sure Frank knows where you are so we can be sure and pitch at the same place if you're all off hiking.

Ok just of the phone with frank.

Should be no problem with us all coming. As to getting somewhere held it depends how many show up on friday. I suppose its the start of the holidays

We will be down for 10:00 - 10:30 so unless anyone is down before we will have a look and try to pitch somewhere we all can get into.

He asked me to pop him an email so I will do this now.

I can be down from anytime and would quite like to see some of the sights while down there :)

All of flipmeb's suggestions sound good.

Just a thought..
I know we ain't yanks, but since it's close to Independence day we could maybe make it themed and have a BBQ?

Where would you find a red,white and blue flag at this time of the year  ::) ;D

Quote from: flipmeb on June 28, 2011
Cerbera, you are more than welcome to join us on our walk. I'm assuming it will be a gentle stroll as we will have two young'uns with us.

 Im thinking a loop incorporating carrick little carpark, blue lough, percy bysshe and Binnian looks good and will give the kids a bit of a workout.

Mine started this morning about wanting her own pack for her jacket and water, sounds good to me  ;)

That sounds good; is it this one? http://www.walkni.com/Walk.aspx?ID=64

It'll be me and my 12yo son so gentle stroll works for me :)
