Donard Wood Overnighter - 26 Mar 11

[twentyclicks]

All packed for after work tomorrow. Complete luxury this time... thermarest, pillow, stove, hipflask, old man pipe 

Remember the clocks are going forward, so even less sleep!
Red Leader - are you heading home for the 6am race coverage or the repeat? 

[RedLeader]

I'm going full lux too - hammock and proper camera with tripod incase it's clear for some astrophotography in the evening.
We'll be recording the F1 and aiming to be home as early as we can - media blackout all the way of course!

Are we planning a wee night hike or anything?

Will i bring a chess set, we can have a tournament??! 

[RedLeader]

I wasn't planning either chess or a night hike. You can all fire away tho.

Roger, are we bringing firelogs or is there plenty of dead wood handy? 

Does anyone need to bring an axe or wa !?

[RedLeader]

I wasn't going to bother with a firelog and just hope there would be enough dead drop wood about. If you could bring an axe it would be handy, saves some effort in the long run.

Hey i'm going to head down too if ya's don't mind. I recently got a DD Hammock and tarp and a new sleeping bag i'd like to try out. Does anyone fancy doing some bushcrafty stuff? like trying to make a bow drill or something.

[RedLeader]

Never worry, we'll improvise.

Cool, but i aint got no axe!

Don't know that we're intending to do anything specifically bushcrafty but we're more than happy to watch you! If you haven't been out before watch for the pirate flag, that'll be us. PM me if you want a mobile number.

Sweet, I dont know any bushcraft or have any knifes or anything, but willing to learn!

[Eamonn]

I'll head up about 4 or 5 so there's still plenty of sun light to play with.

lol i've done some spoon carving and i made i knife. I've always wanted to try this making fire with sticks so it will be a first for both of us.

[RedLeader]

Too late to invite myself? Wouldnt mind trying out my new stuff.

Plough on up, more the merrier!

[RedLeader]

About what time you all be there?

We're in the front bar having a pre hike pint so about 40 mins after I finish this stella.
