Still unsure, but, I think I'm driving down, sharing the car with a few friends who are gonna do stuff in Kerry for the weekend....

MikeD

So, MG and 666, are you not leaving until Saturday morning ?

I half thought, we'd all be there late late friday night, ready to start Saturday, then walk up a mountain on saturday, camp on top, then do another decent days walking on sunday, before heading to come home about 6pm kerry time!

What are your plans ?

666 and mikeD how you planning on getting to Kerry?

I'm in the car with MG1 and chris.

Don't worry about the weather because............if it's not raining, it's not training ;D

Hey 666, If you are walking and leaving with them guys you will have to catch us up as they are leaving saturday morning and we will already be on the hill by then.

I have room in my car for one more if you like.
