[666_pack]

Hi all,
There will be night hike up Cave Hill this monday meeting about 6pm.

All welcome

[RedLeader]

6pm.... I can't imagine you chaps getting there for 6pm. When you say six I assume you actually mean seven

And I'm in of course.

[666_pack]

yeah you know about 6.............ish

[MG1]

I'm in

[666_pack]

alright guys weather update...


looking good for views



pretty calm




don't think you'll have to worry about over heating this week



whoop

[RedLeader]

Cave Hill isn't bad as long as it isn't too windy. After Commedagh and Binnian it'll be a a doddle!

[MG1]

Happy dayz. Whats the numbers is it the usual four?

Would love to go, but these days I'm built for comfort and not for speed, and i would only lag behind.

But i'll look out my window and see if you can be seen.

Ok then guys......give me the details.

I live near the Abbeycentre and can be "on the hill" in 10 minutes.....(although I've been over the hill for years now)

Looking forward to it.

Alan.

  Might I suggest starting from the top of the Old cavehill road. take the route through the forest till we reach the bit before the Caves. Visit Cave 1  go right along the devils punchbowl until we reach the heather . walk along top of Napoleons Nose to McArts fort take photos admire view etc . Then take the track down from the fort to the cars. ( There is a shorter route from the Caves to McArts fort which is difficult enough in day light) any thoughts

[MG1]

Sounds good mate. I've never been up cave hill so i'm just following.

Or, alternatively, we could meet at the carpark at Belfast Castle and start/finish right on the hill.

What're your thoughts?
