If you die with all your parts working your not trying hard enough!

I would be interested, although it depends on dates.. Also need to get myself hill fit so any opportunities to go up the hills let me know.

Right I have a Dilema

Do I a) do the Howling Ridge if I can find someone who wants to come and do it of do I b) go to Donegal.

I want to do both but I dont have a partner as of yet for Howling Ridge and I dont want to wild camp in Donegal like everyone else does.

Anyone want to make this easy for me and come do Howling ridge on the 19th-21st August?

Well to be honest it's not my trip anymore. I wanted to go to camp site and have a few beers and a camp fire on saturday night. And not wild Camp.

My intent was going to be drive to the start of the walk friday night. set up my tent. Get up Saturday and go for a long walk taking in as much as possible then go to the sleepyhollow camp site and have a BBQ, few beers and so great craic like Bloody Bridge. However others want to wild camp and I just dont feel it.

So I was thinking about a more challenging day down in Kerry if I could find a climbing partner.
