So is that an official NI-Wild phrase now "Doing a Suspect"  :D

Hope it all goes well and you have a lot of fun.  Just watch out for the Gang de la Brise de Mer because we like you guys but we ain't stumping up a ransom lol

Just to say we are back in one piece! There are tales to tell, kit lists and musings, and advise for others thinking of taking part... and there will be loads of photos at some point.

We represented something inbetween NI's elite athletes, apes, Monty Python french, and Rob Brydon doing an Al Pacino impression. That should stifle any desire for more info at this point  :D

Got to sort some of this normal life stuff out again 1st, like sleeping indoors on a bed, washing machines, work etc but thank you for your well wishes and shall return with juicy detail when able.

Thanks for the guys wishes, we left the next morning of the post so wasn't able to respond...

Had the most amazing time.... but funnily I never felt that I was that far from the mournes, its quite similar.... Other parts were quite similar to the Kerry ridge walk we did a while back.

I think craig and I agree that the mourne wall in a day, was actually harder then any day in corsica, but was amazing to get some new mountains done!!!

Hopefully get some photos up soon. 

Bring on the mongolian derby!
