• MMR Fundraiser & Camp: November 24, 2012 - November 25, 2012

[RedLeader]

Liam has pointed out that the Mourne Mountain Rescue Service are having a charity run/walk on the 24th November at Annalong. It sounds like a great chance to support the chaps we'll be hoping will save us when we're in diffs at the same time as having a night around the fire. Everyone wins

The walk is only 4 miles at sea level so a doddle even for the kids or buggies, the run is more strenuous at 10 miles starting at sea level and going up to the end of Annalong Wood and back.

After we could hit Annalong Wood for a night around the fire or venture further up Annalong Valley for something a little more wild. It would also be a great time to get lots of non-NI-Wilders involved for the walk to help raise some extra money.

More info on the MMR event here and here.

I'd belive it when I see it lol

I cant make this one as I have ice hockey match so have to work but would like to make a donation.  How do I do this??

[LandyLiam]

here's a couple of easy ways to donate to MMRT

1. visit http://www.justgiving.com/mmrtfriends (this way is best as you can add your tax to the donation)

or

2. Text MMRT10 £10 / £5 or £2 to 70070

or when in Newcastle look out for one of the white land rover charity boxes in many of the shops, I know Hilltrekker and the Barbican garage have them.


Also if you donate £10 i'll give you a copy of the 50th anniversary magazine (while stocks last) next time we meet.

[Dowser]

Any more chat about this..?  Who all's going..?

I'm defo going for the 4 mile dander then hitting the hills for the evening    Suggestions for campsite welcome.

[RedLeader]

Since this is a short walk and finishes early we should make for Annalong Wood and do some Bushcrafty stuff. Maybe cook some wild game if anyone could get some rabbit or wood pigeon etc, I'm open to suggestions, what do you all think?

[Spud]

I wont be up til late that night if I make it, so my plans revolve around cooking a big steak and having a snifter (or 2  ) of bourbon!! 

[Dowser]

Crackin' Idea Redleader,

I should hopefully be able to get couple few Rabbit and Wood Pigeon and could make a big communal stew/pot roast which we could munch on as and when we feel peckish!

I've always wanted to try cooking over the open fire using a tripod and big cooking pot arrangement.

Spud, if I can get a it arranged you can have some for your supper once your steak has settled
