Title: Cock Mountain Camp - POSTPONED Date to be confirmed
Post by: Dowser on January 19, 2011
I am planning to do the route shown below, with a Overnighter on Cock Mountain (Pause for Childish Giggles :D).  I reckon it will be sometime over the next few weeks, possibly the 12th and 13th February 2010.

I'll not be pushing round this one too fast because I'm gonna have my pup with me for it's first proper hike... hence no mountains over 559m.

Everybody welcome.  Even if you just want to do the walk and not camp out.

Why...?  What happens if you go over 559m...? 

Does Pup go Pop...?

Quite possibly ;D   

It's only got wee short legs at the moment so I'll not push it round the 7 7's just yet.  Might be difficult explaining to my kids how the family pet just had a heart attack!!!   :o

I would be up for doing cock mountain with you dowser mate, I still can't confirm if i'll be able to do my own annalong camp but fingers crossed. I'm hopefully getting my big rucksack back this weekend so i'd be able to take my big and warm sleeping bag with me.

Sorry everybody... I'm going to have to postpone this trip... Something unexpected has come up.  I will start the thread up again when I get a new date.

Obviously if you still fancy doing this on the 12th and 13th without me feel free to do so and stick a post up, with some pictures, to let us know how you got on!

reading between the lines, I reckon the pup got a better offer.
