Weather looks fair enough too - bit of everything.

Shower, dinner, bus, sneaky camp in Donard.

Good goin fellas, looking forward to hearing all about it when you get back!

We met a few MMM teams on their way to a check point on the side of Binnian and then spotted a few more teams near the saddle between Binnian and 'lamagan, but apart from that barely met another soul all day!

666_pack

big well done guys
TwentyClicks finished 2nd over all (b class) Me and MG1 finished 12th over all (d class) and the two andy's 20th over all (d class)
The weather was brutal to say the least. One off the elite team had to fend off hypothermia on day one and pulled out. I skidded 30m of the summit of spelga and have  a bruise on my ass the size of a side plate.......but what a few days. ;D
