Title: Hows your weather?
Post by: RedLeader on March 31, 2010, 08:55:41 AM
The leccys out in the mystic East (of Belfast) from the storms and we had plenty of snow but it didn't lie.

Anyone seen the Mournes?

I was all ready to do Cave Hill tonight but decided it wasn't such a good idea on my own with the weather being so bad so I've no stuff with me. What time you going up at?

anytime after 7 suits me.  its really nice getting up to Napoleans Nose, looking at the snow speckled rock in the moonlight! And the view of Belfast harbour is pretty cool too - hopefully, there will be a big moon...

Actually, I might be able to get home and back over by 7. I'll let you know.
