I'm tentatively up for this on Sun 7th as a day hike. Will need to check with the chief and I'd be bringing an 11 year old.

Would be a day trip for me because I only plan to go the one way

Just want to check you realise this means you have to walk double the distance  :P

Opps, slight brain lapse on my behalf :D

Think last year I did around 17km of it which took me from Meelmore to just past the quarry on the Bloody Bridge side.  From memory I dont think I could have made the extra 5km or so to the BB car park :)  Will definately be up for this in some shape or form though!

it's about a 14mlie round trip with very little assent.
I don't think it a crazy idea :P

If you die with all your parts working your not trying hard enough!

5-6 hours max at walking speed;D

So if we even only run the flat parts 3-4?

So should we pencil this in for Sun Feb 7?

3 possible routes :
Meelmore - Bloody Bridge via Brandy Pad
Meelmore - Bloody Bridge via Brandy Pad and return to Meelmore
Meelmore - Bloody Bridge via Slievenaglogh, Corragh, Commedagh, Donard

Who's up for it?

I'd be in for meelmore tp bloody bridge and back again! sounds like fun! although comming back up from bloody bridge wont be!

Kirth

Still think for my first time I will just go the one eway. Is anyone else wanting to go just the one way from Bloody Bridge to Meelmore/Trassey?

I'm up for Option 2 :)  Minus any running that is!  Kat fancies doing it as well, so you can count me in +1.
