I am meeting Lenny at his house and we are leaving Belfast at roughly 6.30pm. MikeD... I will PM you his address and if you want to meet us there about 6pm your more than welcome to follow us down.

I can't see anybody being at Cronins yard much before 2am and we'll all hang about there till everybody shows.  I have most peoples phone numbers so I'll call both MikeD and 666pack when we arrive.  If it looks like anyone is running behind badly, and wont make it till 4am then give me a call on my mobile and let me know.  That being the case we would head on up the trail and set up camp and the late comers can join us when they can.

Really looking forward to this one... See you all at Cronin's if not before!

[RedLeader]

Enjoy chaps, it should be a blinder (or you might go blind if you drink too much Bucky on the summit)

[LennyJ1]

Have a great idea for a route.

Will need to look at a map and guide book but will chat later

[RedLeader]
