Red Arrow in August?

[Oisín]

Hello all.

Me and my girlfriend are camping at Bloody Bridge campsite the weekend of the Red Arrows flying over.

Would anyone be interested and meeting up for a bit of craic? Maybe even watch the planes from the side of a mountain?

Dates are 4th, 5th and 6th of August.

Last year we camped in Meelmore Lodge and went to the top of Commedagh to watch them. It was a pretty splendid trip. I'd defo be up for something like that again.

Sounds like fun.. Not sure which mountian I plan to climb just yet, but I'm sure between everyone there would be enough knowledge to go around.

I would love to get this organised, yous lot seem good craic.

I'd be up for it, could bring my wee fella.

Sounds like a blast, I could bring mt wee fella as well.

[Oisín]

That would suit well, we're not overly fit ourselves. Just enjoy the outdoors.

What mountian would you guys suggest?

[RedLeader]

We did Commedagh because we thought it would be less busy than Donard (which it was) but it's still the second highest peak and a decent climb.

Define "Decent"  

I'm not looking a four day ascent or anyhting, just something that is reasonable.

Don't want to have to listen to my girlfriend complain the whole day. ( Don't tell her I siad that )  

[RedLeader]

We had a really great view.

It's 765m which is only 85m less than Donard

[Kayakgirl]

Yep I would be interested too.

We watched them from the top of Donard last year, class views! On the last pass one appeared out of nowhere, flew low over Donard and scared the shite clean out of me  was great!
