I'll have one with me, you're welcome to take it for a spin.

If anyone coming down on Sat has an ALPKIT Pipedream 600 could they bring it down to let me have a wee look at it and maybe slip into it to for a second.

I want to make sure I would be comfortable in it before I order one.

Cheers

For anyone who wants to do wet bouldering on Saturday, please bring the following.
Old trainers/wellies
Wetsuit if you have it, if not layer up.
Buoyancy Aid -  if you don't have one don't worry.
Sense of fun!

I can get six helmets, if you need buoyancy aids let me know as I can borrow some from the centre I work in. Just let me know the sizes.
Xs, S, SM, M/L
Cheers

I will have my PD400 with me.  It's the same sizing, just less down than the PD600, so you can try it out for fit :)

D'oh, just realised RL had already replied.  I'm running a bit behind on this thread ;)

You might want to contact Frank again to let him know we're looking at 17 people camping, possibly 19 as there are 2 unconfirmed.

If you've got a sat nav or GPS here's the co-ord's N 54.173538 W 5.875157

Google Maps

flipmeb gave me this advice 'as you come up the hill after the gate, there is a field to the right that has an old static caravan looking thing then after it is a right turn leading to another farm gate - you want to head through this and not head on up the road'

Think most are heading down mid afternoon.

Just to note, the lane you drive up is right after Bloody Bridge car park to the right of the Bloody Bridge trail and has no sign for the campsite. I know I missed it the first time.

We're up to 19 people, possibly 21. Everyone just needs to make sure and tell Frank (the owner) that they're with NI-Wild so he puts us all together.
