Okay laydees, considering the forecast and shitty week I've just had I'm thinking we move this camp.

Binnian is defo out with the wind anyway but hiking over to Annalong Valley in wind and rain doesn't seem like fun either. I propose we move the camp to Donard Wood. That way anyone that still fancies a decent hike can come over from Meelmore Lodge (or wherever) and anyone who wants a quick camp can just come up the Glen River.

Thoughts?

Spiffy. You guys can still do a walk over if you're feeling adventurous. Only question is, we've a new spot in Donard Forest which is much more isolated with lots of wood but isn't quite so tent friendly. We did get 2 in last time though.

What are your plans?

This is where we'll be. Spot is red square, blue line is best route. Don't go to our usual spot!!

Agh, camp change. Definitely more likely to make it now. My friend may be able to come along too, though we might still be late as he's tied up til about 8pm. Will update tomorrow morn.

don't be tempted to take a short cut through the trees any other way, i did it in daylight and its a little tricky, would be a nightmare in the dark, the blue line is along a small firebreak that you would only find if you had been there before, maybe first person there could place some logs on road to mark the spot, if anyone wants the gps co-ords i have them somewhere
