Doh. If you'd mentioned it a day or 2 earlier - I'm off but I've got to wait at home for Pete. I'll be up there on Wed to do the Annalong Horseshoe if you fancy.

Awesome, 10 should be no worries. I'm hoping Andy can make it too.
I'm up for a relaxing day so leave the terminator legs at home ;)

I've not heard from Andy so I'm assuming he can't make it. I'm still game.

Never got the email j but cheers for the offer maybe nxt time . Headed up binnian  and then up slivelamagan over to cove slieve Beg then home along valley . Weather was great and the wind was an added bonus keeping me cool . Bad parts I burnt top of my head never noticed till I jumped into hot shower which I jumped out off even faster :) . Annalong forest some titheads camped and left their tents sleeping bags and all rubbish behind . Total mess I am hoping to get up sometime nxt wk to clear it all . One of the tents is a pro action think that's the one you all rave about .

It's a real shame we didn't meet up with you since we did nearly the same walk. We did Binnian, Lamagan, Cove, Beg, Donard, Annalong Valley and home. Couldn't be more sore  ;D

Respect for doing donard at the end I was really feeling it at Beg I only planned to do Binnian but I met a guy called Ronny who wanted company to do Lamagan , so being the gentleman I am I said yes :) stopped for lunch and I decided to carry on so glad I did . You must not of been that far behind me I started from carrick little not long after 9 . I will keep an eye for the next mid  week dander  ;D

Looks like a really good route, think will be saving that image for future reference :)  Pretty impressive distance and ascent as well, grand day out!
