Good to meet you folks...sorry it was a bit quick, should have stuck about for a chat...

Just a couple of things that I took away on top of what Matthew is saying (folks please let me know if I've picked any of this up wrong):

- They really seem to have gone into organisation overdrive, which is good if it turns nasty up there. There's a lot of radioing/texting every time a team checks in or does a King of the Hill.
- If anyone can make it down early on the Friday they could do with some help setting up tents and stuff
- They are also looking for and extra two people to man a check point between noon and late afternoon on the Saturday.
- We meet to register at the Burrendale between 6pm-7pm...but then we need to get over to Tollymore Lower Forest Car Park for 7.30pm because that's were the Minibus is picking us up to take us to the drop point.
- that leads to that they are telling us there is only one drop off point: Bloody Bridge River Car Park, so whoever is in Team 1 (Trassey Track) and Team 2 (Hares Gap), will have to walk the entire length of the Brandy Pad on the Friday night and Saturday morning....kinda wishing I'd stuck around to point out how much of a slog that would be rather than being dropped at the bottom of the Trassey track. Perhaps we can negotiate that with them.
- They are still interested if we can man Donard Summit right through to 6pm on the Saturday for Comms relay.

I'll get the info pack scanned and uploaded on Monday.

(ps. they had to drop the iPlod name....it's now officially called "PLOD - Mourne Mountains")

Alright lads!

I am dissapointed in the lack of freebies I returned home with but got a free tea which is not to be frowned at!  Nice to meet yas all, cheers for the lift george. 

Can I stick myself down for Hares Gap???   Not a chance of me doing all night and day on Donard!

Team 3 -  stile on the wall at the castles OR
Team 4 -  Donard king of the hill

whichever one is available.  Preferably would love to join Team 4!!

Hi guys, cheers for gathering the info. Don't worry too much about organising all the teams, we'll divide them all up so that there is a good amount of experience per team with no-one walking further than they want. I'll speak to the organisers and check out the bus situation, it seems quite an ask to drop everyone at Bloody Bridge.

I missed the free stuff, normally I will stuff the pockets but today I was unaware......SAD FACE.......

Actually, there were no freebies - I was just trying to wind up the people who didn't get to the training session!  ;D Thought you all might have caught on and joined in  ;)
