Im hoping to be there about 630, whats the craic with parking? where did you guys park last time you were up?

[Mourneman]

You can park your car at the house along the trek,it's the house on the left,with the heavy plant vehicles,it's about £4.00 ,but at least it's better than leaving it at Carricklittle carpark,just knock on the door,ps the Doberman is all bark,no bite ,enjoy the steak lad

[RedLeader]

The house on the lane is Carrick Plant Hire, they have a sign now for the car park, it' basically first left up the lane. It's £3 for the day and £5 overnight. Seems inflation has kicked in already

None from my Menagerie this time.  You were asking about peeps going down early.  My Boss is letting me go home at 4pm so I might be down for 6:30ish.  Depends how the packing goes.  I slipped into my ultra lazy setting last night and got nothing done :-(

Great night lads, thanks for your company, karma to redleader and Matt for helping with cleaning up other peoples rubbish!

Any pics at all guys?

[LandyLiam]

I managed to pop up for a late breakfast so i took a few pics, there were some rough looking faces so no closeups    (campsite is A on map below)








Fourman & I went for a wee dander to Percy Bysshe cave









then i dandered on up the annalong valley to get a geochache, had considered doing the devils coachroad, but decided alone wasn't a good idea






on my way back spotted what looked like a very good campsite beside the river (B on map) is the sunny bit in the middle of pic



a closeup of the spot



found another good camp spot at point c on the map, not much space for tents though, but very handy to the river for water and could be used if there's a noisy lot near the main site 



passed by the binnian tunnel, looks like there was a recent flood here

[Mourneman]

Nice photos Liam,I discovered that wee campsite a while back too,after a trek around hares castle,maybe use it soon
