Ben Crom Shelter Stone Bivvy Tonight

[Matthew]

Given that the weather is fantastic and the recent talk of the shelter stone I am planning to head down later tonight for a quick bivvy and home at a reasonable time in the morning. If you fancy it give me a shout.

I'm in. Never been to the Shelter Stone, anyone know how easy is it to fine from Hares Gap?

Very easy red, there is a path down from the gap below bearnagh most of the way but as far as I remember you have to cross a riverand keep it on your right as you head down

[Matthew]

From what I know you head to the steps for Bearnagh, instead of going up them you contour to the left of them and follow a track down.

Looks like there will be a fair few of us up the mournes tonight! Don't forget the midge repellent!

[RedLeader]

We'll probably not at camp until after 9 so hopefully they'll be gone by then.

Its pretty simple theres a trail leads you down to Ben Crom from the hares gap.
I think its the kilkeel river runs into Ben crom cross it and your not far from the shelter stone.
Have a good one guys, would love to go tonight but wouldn't be able to get a babysitter sorted.
Bring midge spray

I was going to go up Doan tonight but if theres a group of you going to Ben crom i might come along to it  instead if thats okay, get a bit of crack going between us all.

[Dowser]

Yeap... I'm in.  I'll be at Meelmore for 19:30ish

If I don't see you in the carpark I'll see you at the Shelter Stone

I wanna come, may need to butter up the wife when I get home?

[ChuckMcB]

A half day off work today, car packed with big plans to head to Slieve League in Donegal for a bivvy and stuff, but a couple of immovable objects got in the way at the last minute ....so it looks like I'm slumming it in the Mournes 

Will join you if I may?

Trying to get out of the house shortly to have a wee explore somewhere. If anyone's about feel free to give me a shout.

Anyone got any plans for Saturday? Getting down to the shelter stone should be an easy enough toddle , so I'm thinking about another explorer of Ben Crom itself (caves and summit) if anyone's up for it.

(/me whispers: don't go home.....better to seek forgiveness than ask permission)

I can't make it I'm afraid   Would love to go but I'm booked up this weekend... Have a good one though, looks like you'll get great weather.  I expect plenty of photos

[RedLeader]

Everyones welcome as ever! We're only leaving Meelmore at 730pm so it will likely be 9ish before we're at the Shelter Stone.
