Yes whorya as well, I thought I had put his name down! A casserole or stew would be a good idea too, handy and as u say, only 1 pot!

Just over a week to go.Just over a week to go.Just over a week to go.Just over a week to go.
Hello my NI-Wild friends. As anyone who is looking forward to this trip knows, its just over a week to go. Can we quickly get some concrete plans put down here. Strangely it stay says TBC but I'm pretty sure its the 24th and 25th of March. Secondly, I'd like to start from Waterfoot and end in Ballycastle however I think others want to run it the other way round which is fine, my rational for this is food and drink in Ballycastle is move widely available.

Is anyone joining us for just a single day or just a camp? Please let us know.

If anyone else wants to do a stash they need to be about 1/2 and hour early. I can meet at the the edge of Ballymena and travel to the place and then onto the start point with you.

Aiming to start the walk at about 10am from either side.
It takes about 35 minutes from Ballymena to get to either start point.

We can arrange lifts etc once everyone meets up.

Anything else we need to arrange?

[Spud]

Looking forward to this one craigy! I dont mind which way we do the route, but would prefer to do most of the walking on the saturday while the legs are relatively fresh!  I will take u up on the lift from ballymena cheers, what time would I need to be meeting u? About 845 or so? I may need to get a bus to ballymena if I can't get a lift, I will be stashing some booze too so will need your assistance with that! Is there wood for a fire at the camp or will we need firelogs? roll on next weekend, I'm gettin another new tent for it! Come on guys, no other takers for this trip?

[Craigy123]

If you can aim to be in Ballymena for 8:45 then Spud that would be good. I was gonna get some wood outa work and i'm sure a few other will be bringing firelogs etc too. I think we should do the stash together. Can we arrange this? Please 

[Spud]

I'll be there craigy, need to check busses etc will let u know! Am a bit drunk at the mo, will prob be tomorrow lol

[Spud]

Right guys, need to start getting some firm plans in place for this!!  Are we going for the campsite that craigy found, and which way round are we doing it? Either way suits me, but as previously stated, I would like to get the back of it broken on the saturday, so sunday would be an easier day (with a sore head lol  )

Would have really liked to have went on this one,sadly for me ,i've been off work for six months,so i do believe its time to go back unless that is i get sick before tuesday,no doubt craigy123 will have a line of stunts & escaping act to entertain

Shame u cant make it John, Im really looking forward to it, something different! I hope we get weather like this weekend, as I have been stuck in work all weekend looking out at it! 
Any more takers for this trip?

[Craigy123]

Take this thing by the horns....
Meet at Waterfoot at 10:00am, there is a caravan site just off the Garron Road. This would be suitable to park a few cars.
Who is for parking up in Ballycastle or will we just get a taxi round? According to google maps the drive from Waterfoot to Ballycastle is 15.5 miles but will take 39 minutes. So to be back on time cars need left in ballycastle just after 9. I think an 8 seat taxi would be the best bet.
Spud I propose the camp site picked is kept. I've looked at a few different places and its the best of a bad lot lol.
If we change the camp spot it makes the stash much harder.

[Rumblebum]

Im now confused, ok so the people gowin are me , whorya, spud, craigy, Kayakgirl are you gowing?

[Kayakgirl]

Afraid not.. I'm working that weekend with the youngsters who are doing their Duke of Ed..

[Craigy123]

If its only 4 i would defo advise getting a taxi back. however there is a mpv available.
