I'll have the small boy with me unless the weather looks particularly dodgy.

Is anyone bringing kids to this? Was thinking about bringing minime mark 2 as I promised her a camping trip but dont know as she is pretty young and I wouldnt want her to be the only young one there.

If I havent got her Im thinking of parking at meelmore and walking either the brandy pad then down into donard wood or following the wall from hares gap up and around, depending how energetic Im feeling.

Here's a link to the timetable from Belfast to Newcastle.
http://www.translink.co.uk/Timetables/Ulsterbus-Timetables/Ulsterbus-Service-18-Outbound/#

I'm not sure what the fares are like, they don't seem to list prices. I know Twentyclicks gets the bus down plenty, he could probably fill you in.

Would be a real shame to spend all that money on camping gear and not be able top afford the travel to use it!

I am wanting to hammock it up. I had a wee play in it in Cairn Wood yesterday and it seems a go.

when I add in a tarp, the hammock, lines and bug net its nearly as heavy as my laser comp. (Sad Face)

Thank you Matthew. Returns dont work if im going on the night and coming back next day do they? :/ And I know it gets heavy enough once you add in the tarp,pegs and rope. We tried ours out down by the lough there a few weeks ago. Not sure if we tied the ropes and all the right way but we didnt end up on the ground anyway lol.
