Night Hike - Meelmore & Meelbeg - 8 Jun 10
« on: June 01, 2010 »
Continued from: http://www.ni-wild.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=1108

How about Meelmore and Meelbeg on Tuesday 8th June 10 meeting at Meelmore Lodge at 7pm.

We'll aim to do Chucks route which is as follows and should be 6 miles or so:
Quote
If the weather is good and the ground dry (and the walkers comfortable with the look of it):

    * Up the gully to Spellack
    * Slieve Meelmore Summit
    * Dinner/snak/coffee break
    * (depending on time) Follow the wall to Slieve Meelbeg
    * (depending on time) Down via Fofanny Dam or double back a bit and down via Fofanny Wood/car park direction
    * Along the wall following the Mourne/Ulster way back to Mellmore Lodge..


If it's wet or we're not 100% comfortable with the gully route, we 'sprint' toddle gently along beside the Trassey Track and head up to Meelmore via the wall coming from Bearnagh. Adds an extra 0.5 mile onto the route, but the path is more mature.

Participants
Chuck
J
Andy1984 (possible)
Chris
Dowser

Just so there's organisation of some sort we'll aim to leave Meelmore at 7pm but in the event that anyone hasn't turned up we'll wait until 730 then set off regardless. If you want to pm me I'll give you my mobile number so you can let us know if you're running late.

I usually just have sarnies in the car and chocolate etc on the way round.

Never really worry about food just eat on the move.

I'm heading up on Wednesday evening, I'll time it.

Tempted to grab a bag of chips on the way through Dundrum....was I just unlucky one time last year or are the chips from the "Bayside Catch" chippy always drippin' in grease? (not been back since)

Sounds good guys I'm off work, my mot's up this week and the car needs a bit of work so I may have to take advantage of one of the lifts! Hopefully not though as I'd like to get the dog out too.
