If anyone is going up to stash booze, would they mind dropping off a wee bottle for me, If you are in the Bangor area I can drop it off or if not I an square you up.. Just thinking of a wee bottle of red..

I might be there before you guys on sat, do you have a specific area at fofanny planned for the campsite? The area in the photos i put up is a good spot, from memory I think there are some good pitches near the trees? What is the final number as regards tents?

Hey Spud, yeah the spot in photos looks like a good place to camp if its big enough, i had a quick look and it looks like there might be about 12 tents, i didnt think there was that many going.

It should be a good night for us all, hope it stays dry.

Going by my mourne activity map Fofanny is J 28X 28X  (X = depends whereabouts you are actually camping)

I took this from the story

Wintry showers, it is believed, will mainly affect counties Antrim and Londonderry.

I'm awfully tempted but then the Jetboil wont suffice and the whole situation gets complex...
