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.

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!

"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.

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.

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