Slieve Binnian Camp - Sat Oct 22 2011

[RedLeader]

If you put Craig in a Catscanner this is what you'd see

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 
Could be late to camp, but completely free the next day for lying in/gentle hiking.

Do you understand the meaning of Gentle Hike??? I thought you only had 2 speeds, Fast and get out the way!!!

Unfortunately, once again, I can't make this one

I haven't been in a tent since the end of August, and haven't been wild camping since some time before that... getting serious withdrawal symptoms!

I know Flipmebe is coming as well.

[Are we there yet?]

But i'll not be camping unfortunately..  I only get out on Sundays

Well get up early and you'll be there in time for breakfast  (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 

lol... ill not be up that early, now ive no tickets  I might have a chat with one of the rangers tomorrow and see what the set up is going to be..  and GATE CRASH it! 
Good luck at the race

"get out of the way" is only if I'm out of control. Gentle hiking has no pressing objective and requires not breaking into a sweat 
Saying that, I do need to be back for the cinema at 4pm.

The weather looks a bit dicey at the moment - wet with 34mph gusts on Sat night. I'm thinking if it doesn't improve through the week then dropping into Annalong Wood for a night round the fire might be prudent. We did a Binnian camp in bad weather last year and it was hairy enough.

We could see how it goes on Saturday and adjust the plan as we see it on Saturday night

[RedLeader]

Maybe. If the weathers to get worse at 9pm I don't want to be sitting on Binnian at 6pm thinking things are awesome. Plus if we were in a forest I'd go for a more fun food option.

I will see what Flip wants to do as well as this is a bit of a test for next year.

Cool. No need to worry until later in the week. Never know, the forecast might pick up a bit.
