• Mourne Way Overnighter: October 23, 2010 - October 24, 2010

[Matthew]

Cheers for the e mail it looks a good trip. As for getting there early I am not too fussed but it would to arrive with at least some light.

I should be ok to go but it depends if I am back from Lough Neagh in time

[LandyLiam]

Sorry if this is turning into Planes, Trains and Automobiles

The thought of hearing "those aren't pillows" from your bivvy bag has me chuckling   

[chris]

if i can bum a lift home I'm in!? (any takers?)

I'm sure I could swing thorough on the way home.

Let me know if you think you could do it on a bike?

Congratulations MG!  Definitely an NI-Wild baby boom going on  

Will be interesting to see if the trails are rideable as if they are I'd definitely come back to give them a go on two wheels!

So now we know a few of us are going, what kinda time do you think we should set off at?  When I put the route into Quo it came back with around 6 hours to cover the first 12-13 miles.  Six hours sounds quite generous, but at the same time normally Quo under-estimates on time as it doesnt take into account the inevitable stops along the way.  If it takes 6-7 hours then leaving at 11am would have us around the camp spot as the light was fading around 6pm.  Do you think thats too late a start time?

[MG1]

Cheers guys.

Jon If your up for a 2 wheeled mourne way give me a shout.

Nah sounds fine to me.

I will probably just be getting home at 1030 so to be setting off at 11 is going to be a push for me
