Meelmore Summit camp Friday 23rd nov.
« on: November 20, 2012 »
A few of us are heading for a summit camp on Meelmore this Friday, we will be heading up around 8 and leaving at around 9 the next morning but if you fancy get this one ticked of your list then give us a shout.

Cheers

I might be able to join you. Are you intending to camp or bivvi, considering that the summit is quite rocky.

Last time we summit camped Meelmore inside the wall the ground was too thin to get tent pegs driven in and outside the wall was too windy. We had to drop to the Meelmore/Meelbeg col.

I think il have my standard porridge pot mate, then i was talking to Graeme and in the morning we might head back to the car via spelak  as we havnt really walked much over there.

You never know, a coffee in meelmore lodge might be on the cards.

I'm tenting, I don't have a bivy bag (or the inclination if I'm honest ;)), albeit the weather is looking pretty favourable at the moment.  At least that may mean that the tents won't have to be clinging to the wall.   

I know the ground seems to be a bit of an issue up there, I'm clinging on to the fact that Liam has had a tent up there before.

I think I will go with the bivvi option. The forecast looks fine for it and I will probably be walking in from Newcastle so a lighter pack is welcome.

Have firelog will travel!
