With the talk now of more snow for Christmas, I'd love to try to get organised for a few of us to spend the day up the mournes and build some snow shelters and stuff !

Everywhere is within walking distance if you have the time.

Yep, I'm free from Monday 27th - Friday 31st so definitely up for getting out in the Mournes 8)

Also thinking might spend New Years Day in the Mournes as well, although I'm guessing a few folk might be a bit too tender after New Years Eve? :D

Good stuff, there are loads of different types of snow shelters one could make, so, we're gonna need  a lot of shovels!

And the more the merrier as this looks like tiring work!

I hear that the chances of snow on Christmas Day are 50/50!

Snow shelters...good idea!

That's a really cool idea (see what I did there). I'm defo in for this one.

Do a good enough job and I'd be tempted to stay overnight in one  :P

is love to try that.
its just a matter of getting a loft if anyone lives local.

How does Monday or Tuesday next week sound (27th +28th)?

Most people will be off these days.

And, I'd be up for staying the night in the igloo if anyone else is. 

So, if we're gonna sleep in the construction, it would have to be Monday for me, as back to work on Wednesday.

And, you'll need to get your folding shovels in this week.  Does anyone know of anywhere in Belfast to get one?

I can't make it back to work on Boxing day :'(
