Awesome. We did Meelmore Lodge to Annalong Forest in heavy snow and got pretty sidetracked to the point we ended up on the wrong side of the valley. People still ask how the hell we got lost on the Brandy Pad but when the snows deep and you can't see for the rain anythings possible :D

Your concern is duly noted RedLeader, My plan is the go on Friday morning and overnight in Annalong forest. My backup plan if the weather is bad is to hike in from Annalong, Don't fancy wandering around in the mist with a map and compass and no mobile signal.

Thanks for the detailed advice TwentyClicks, I can head out now with some confidence.   
Nay bother. I'll be coming down after work, so if I need to bus it, I'll be hot-footing along that very route. I got lost coming off Lamagan once but love the old navigation now.

I'm still unknown a bit. If someone is leaving Belfast 6pm or after (and ok to give me a lift) I'll definitely be there, if not I need to consider when a bus would get me down and how much I feel like running the length of the Mournes in the dark - admittedly, something I normally would feel like  ;D
Could be late to camp, but completely free the next day for lying in/gentle hiking.

Well get up early and you'll be there in time for breakfast  ;D (do you make a good fry  ::) )


I'll be doing that run in Dundrum on saturday so can't guarantee i'll be in the mood for a long walk after but i do hope to at least pop up to the campsite at some point over the weekend, especially if the weather is nice  :)
