I hope the lads are okay - the weather's awful in Belfast and the Mournes forcast is for winds gusting 65mph!
They left this morning at 12, I heard from them as the started Meelmore.

That's a shame, still you have to try these things! Did you come back last night or camp and come home this morning?

chris · October 25, 2009, 09:18:34 AM

nah we decided to just go home. Micheal and josh took their wet kit off and put it in a bin bag and i'm not even joking it must have weighed close to 25kg if not more.

RedLeader · October 25, 2009, 09:20:09 AM

How did you get from Muck back round to Meelmore then?

chris · October 25, 2009, 09:22:35 AM

Hunter · October 25, 2009, 12:06:51 PM
