No. Talk about a disaster morning. Waited at the bus stop for 30mins on saintfield road but it didnt turn up, so headed in my car too mcdonalds for a bit of breakfast and too think of my next plan. Chip and pin didnt work at mcdonalds so i was left with £8 to do me (didnt have monks wine so was worried plus had too get petrol), then when i was driving out i spilt coffee all over me and burnt the a** off myself. I decided too head home and as soon as i told the missus what happened she just laughed and said it wasnt meant too be  :( 2 weeks in a row now iv been planning and havnt been able too...apart from a camp in the back garden last week  ::) anyone else just get one of those days?  :-[

I dont think you should go out your front door lol. If you'd ducks theyd probably drown on ya!

Myself and Whorya got in the car and headed up to the mournes to do a walk of the silent valley and wee binnian etc, as soon as we got to castlewellan i told him to pull the car over, got out and puked everywhere, i felt awful so he ran me back home again, he then went back to the mournes again, thats devotion for ya!

I live in templepatrick so it was a real kick in the teeth for him drivin back and forward all day , i felt like a rite tube lol.

Theres the mourne way walk next week which will be good so your more than welcome to join us, some people cant do the two days so they are going to the camp on the saturday night and then walking sunday.

Wine will be consumed at the camp ;D

You forgot to mention stopping the car another ten times to puke.  Mind you, I could cope with that, it was the motorway and Subway bag 'relationship' that was hard to take!

It was a shame, we had planned to blast up from Donard Park and catch up with the guys at the forest camp.  Sounds like a bad day Adam, hopefully the other guys fared a little better.

what happened to you adam?
We went past carryduff on the bus, maybe you waited at the wrong stop, because nobody got on at the stop at carryduff.

Me and my bro had a great time, but took awhile to start the fire. alot of wet wood. but I found some good dry wood up in the thinker woods, which did keep the fire lit.
we are shattered now, after all that hard work.  ;D

great night witht he wine round the fire. pity nobody showed up.

bit windy but our tents where fine.

I parked at the hill at the bottom of four winds and walked to the bottom of the saintfield road bus stop. I was there for 0914 thinking i would have a couple of minutes too spend but nothing turned up  ??? there was a private bus that went past but that was the only one bar a downpatrick one about half an hour after, was properly gutted  >:(
