Great going Louise. We must have met you somewhere around the dam. Back for another go next year?

Great time Louise, wish I'd joined you as I was hoping for a 10 hour time (only to beat Rumblebum and Whorya's 10:21  :) ) now I don't know whether to have a stab at it this summer or wait til next year. Did you by any chance just enter the MMM?  :)

Give me until the end of September after this baby is born and I will do the seven sevens route again with you. It took me and the brother 10.29 but I know I could easily take an hour off it. We spent a lot of time sitting chatting to marshals on 4 of the summits, spent a while talking to a guy from mourne heritage that we met who I have been talking to before and looking through his binoculars and didn't push a hard pace at any time as we knew we could easily make the dam before 1. I have my eye on the forecast for this Sunday with a view to doing the mourne wall. If the wife allows me ??? Baby due in 2 weeks!

Hi, no I haven't entered for the MMM. But never say never..  I truly enjoyed Saturday.  However I don't think I could have done much better than 10 hours.  Possibly shave off 10 mins I spent taking photos, but that's it.  I will definitely do it again next year.  I will keep an eye out for future walks you guys do and maybe join you some day.
