Title: Mournes Walk (Slieve Donard) - Sun 21/Feb/10
Post by: RedLeader on February 17, 2010
Anyone fancy a dander this Sunday? Kirth was up for the Brandy Pad from Bloody Bridge to Meelmore if we can organise transport. If not, I'm game for anything I can do with a hangover!

This is now Slieve Donard from Bloody Bridge at 10am. Allcomers welcome!

Unfortunately we don't have enough cars to shuttle from one side of the Brandy Pad to the other so instead we're going to do Slieve Donard from Bloody Bridge.

I've not been this route up Donard before if anyone wants to comment. Route info is here :

I have attached a map of the planned route.

No worries Kirth. Will we postpone or does anyone else still want to go?

Unfortunately I won't be able to make this one as I can only grab a few hours in the morning so I'll be doing a bit in the Antrim Hills.  :P

Yeah, we have good snow here. Think Donard would be hard for me to get to. Might see what it's like out BillyBackpacks way.
