I might have missed it but is there a time for meeting up at Bloody Bridge campsite/setting off by taxi to Meelmore?  I still hoping to be able to get out to this event. :-\

We hadn't totally firmed up times yet. I think Suspectmonkey should be along tonight to post the finer details I think.

Okay, think these are our final details, Suspectmonkey can let me know if I've got anything wrong.

Either :
Meet at my house at 10am to stop at McDs for a quick breakfast aiming to be at Bloody Bridge Campsite for 1130am and get a taxi to the Trassey at 1230pm.

or

Just meet @ Bloody Bridge Campsite at 1130am or meet at the Trassey at 1230pm.

Anyone that needs my address or mobile number PM me

If you're not staying over you could save yourself a taxi and meet us at Cecil Newman Carpark.

Was just thinking that 1230 is a late start. Do you want to bring every thing you said forward a hour?

We need enough time to get up and packed plus get pitched at Bloody Bridge. Will probably be tight with the timings we have.

Actually, if you're not camping but are hanging around for a bite to eat in the evening then you would need to park at Bloody Bridge. Wasn't thinking!

Okay, slightly modified plan. Someone has pointed out that Newcastle might be busy tomorrow so it's better to be down early so we'll aim to be at Bloody Bridge between 10-1030 and sort the rest after that. If people could post or PM so we know who's defo coming and where they're meeting!

What I'm saying is could u not leave home a hour early?

Yep, we're going to aim for an hour earlier.

Bloomin' heck, I'm going to need a bigger diary ;D

Okay, so if everyone could meet at the Bloody Bridge camp site at 10am tomorrow.  We will sort out transport to Trassey Road when we get there.  If you are planning on going please let us know by posting in the thread to say you are definitely in, just so we don't leave anyone behind!

Updated the original post with details as well.

I'm ready to go.  Tent pitched last night for checking and packed away again this morning. Day ruck packed and overnight kit into a grip plus some luxuries in the boot.  I'm travelling solo from Anahilt if there's anyone with this locality who needs a lift I'm happy to oblige.

Is the booking in any particular name so that if I'm there earlier than others I can pitch up in the appropriate place?

If you meet the owner, Frank, just tell him you are with NI-Wild.  RedLeader was speaking to him earlier in the week so he knows we are coming.  I've never been to the place before so if you are there before everyone else feel free to pick out a nice pitch for us all, will leave it to your discretion ;)  See you tomorrow!

How many are you expecting to attend so far?
