New Year - New Start
« on: December 31, 2010 »
Hi Guys

I am going to  be taking myself up Eagle Mountain & Shanlieve.

Wasgoingto go this Sunday 2nd Jan. Meet at Leitrim Lodge Picnic area.

Does anyone want to join me?

I would rather walk with someone than by myself. I can pick anyone up aswell as I have the car.

I'd be up for this but I have to be at my parents house for lunch. Was planning a night hike to test out the new headtorch if anyone is still about by late afternoon/evening

you should have come up Donard last night then  ;D actually i turned my torch off for most of the nighthike, i thought 13 torches on full beam was ample, just switched it on when out in front or when beside a deep drop to the river  :o


Tomorrows meeting time is 10am at Leitrim Lodge, i'll be in Newcastle about 9.30am if anyone needs a lift from there.

As with most meticulously planned trips things went a bit haywire  :o  Lenny slept in  ::) and missed Darren  :'( , I was early (for a change  :D ) and we ended up not bothering with Eagle and Shanlieve, looks very steep up along the Batts wall so after Pierce's Castle we popped over to Tournamrock and then down to the Yellow River and walked back through the forest, about 4 hrs in total, something easy to start the year, isn't that right Lenny  ;)  wasn't too boggy, but a bit of a frost helped stop us sinking in places,  will get some pics up later..
