Slieve Meelbeg summit camp - Sat 16/03/13
« on: March 12, 2013 »
Myself and Rumblebum have planned a wee summit camp on Slieve Meelbeg this Saturday. 

Not sure about times yet but we'll likely head up early evening via the Happy Valley, returning the next morning by heading down the NW 'spine' of the mountain for a bit of variety.

Give us a wee shout if you fancy it.

Good stuff Lenny, although I feel that I must clarify something for the purposes of the public record. 

The Liverpool comment is not directed at me.  I do not have any connection or affiliation with Liverpool FC, nor have I ever had in the past, nor do I intend to in the future.  I consider myself to be of good upstanding and integrity and do not want to be tarnished by the misdeeds and feculent nature of the aforementioned football club.
 Oh I feel much better after that  :)

That comment was defo not aimed at you. However Alan would say

I do have a connection & affiliation with Liverpool FC, I have always had in the past, I will always intend to in the future.  I consider myself to be of bad upstanding and integrity and do & will always want to be tarnished by the misdeeds and feculent nature of the aforementioned football club.

:D :D ;D ;D :D :D................:)

Is that the Everton that's below Liverpool in the league, got humped by Wigan at home in the cup and haven't won a trophy in 18 years?  ;) cmon the redmen!

Going back on topic. Has anyone camped on Meelbeg before?  I'm expecting it to be a little like Meelmore with thin soil.

I intend being over Meelbeg on sunday morning but it will probably be after you are all gone. Keep an eye out for a man with a black lab and a collie and say hello if you see me.

Hi there
I might be able to join you on meelbeg.

I was there yesterday and there was a lot of snow heaped against the wall - expect a cool night! The mournes looked great with a good dusting of snow everywhere.
The summit is quite rocky so it will be difficult to pitch tents.

Ok sounds like Meelmore but with more rocks  ;D

It would be great if you could join us Fred.  Would you be thinking of a bivy?  I'll be speaking to Rumblebum later and we'll sort out timings.

Cold? Yes it does give a 'feels like -8' on the Met Office.  I'll have to try to convince my body that it isn't actually -8, it just feels it  8)

Nice one Phil, we'll be to sure to say hello and to give your bro abuse about not committing to the 7 7s.

yes, it was very rocky but i found one wee spot just big enough for my tent right at the summit, the other side of the wall was better but that was the windy side and at the time there was an serious amount of sheep poo there, all frozen now though  :)
