The Official NI-WILD Christmas Camp 2011 Thread

[RedLeader]

Should mention, the NI-Wild skull'n'crossbones should be in attendance so anyone new can spot us but not until I've got up there. Can't imagine the place will be crowded though...

See if someone would split the weight.

AAhhhh.... Just sorted my pack, it always feels good 

Only actually twigged on tuesday when I dug up my spuds how bulky they are going to be and kicked myself when I realised I should have said I'll bring the smash lol. With them plus drinks it defo looks like its two trips for me 

Although Dowser does have to lug the bird up

i have a wee trolley which we could use to bring the heavy stuff up, it wouldn't cope with the forest track but should be able to manage the gravel road

That bird has an awesome coat 

How long of a walk is it from the car park to the site?

[Mourneman]

this is the way I have cooked the carrots.

I  boiled the carrots for five mins until almost cooked, I then added 3 heaped tsp honey, and 2 large orange squished juice, 4 tsp mild olive oil in a baking tray, then added the carrots to the tray and covered them in stuff added, and roasted them for 25 mins.
thats the instructions I found online and they seem ok.

anything else need brought up? (remember cooking not my strong point) maybe a dishwasher 

also might be an idea to leave at half hourly intervals (hit me if i'm getting too logistical about this) that way we could go as groups, be a shame to be a couple of minutes behind each other, i'll suggest we meet at the metal gate (at end of car park) at HH+25 and HH+55, leaving at HH+30 and HH+00,

synchronise watches

I'll be kicking about Newcastle in the afternoon, I'll stick a spare ruck in the car, give me a shout if you need anything taken up the hill.

Looking forward to meeting eveyone during the day, heading up Donard earlier then should be down at the camp for around 3pm, we'll bring a big tin of chocolates for all to share.
