Are we meeting in the main Donard car park?

[Mourneman]

just worked out i'll be carrying two back-packs and two tray's of potato's,flip

[LandyLiam]

there's always a possibility that the forest gate may not be locked so someone could run everything up in the car, just leave a man at the gate so you don't get locked in the forest 

[whoRya]

I'm down round Eagle and Shanlieve tomorrow with a mate, not sure how our timing will work out.  Reckon I'll be back round towards Donard Park around 4-4:30pm. 

I'll see you all up there, looking forward to it people.  Safe journey everyone.

Apologies for the late notice, but unfortunately I am out I have a Christmas pud and custard here so will try to make arrangements for it to make it to the camp. Hope you all have a good one, sorry cant be there!

[Oisín]

Grace and I will be arriving a bit later as I'm working throughout the day. Should make it up around 7-8. Please keep us some food, I'm hungry reading this thread.

People are coming up at different times. We're aiming to be in Donard Car Park at 130ish or if you want you can meet at mine 1t 1230.

I'm just home from the camp; sadly couldn't stay 

Even though the journey up almost killed me [I'm so unfit] it was so worth it 

Full on Christmas dinner in the middle of the forest; pulling crackers, turkey & stuffing, roasties, cocktail sausages, Christmas cake and even some raspberry ruffles and After Eights. Hard to beat; that was just some of what was on offer!!

The mulled wine was also superb but as I was driving home I could only have a taster 

Apologies to all for the bad behaviour of Charlie the pup  It was his first NI Wild meeting and if he doesn't behave it may be his last. Although he made an excellent plate cleaner

Big thanks to all for making the night great include my guide up, typoOn and our guide down, Liam 
I knew I shouldn't haven't watched Blair Witch Project before going out 

Sadly I have no pics but I saw plenty flashes going off so they should be plenty to come

Looks like a great night was had!

[ChuckMcB]

A good night indeed. Top marks to whoever picked the spot.

Was a mild night, moon even made an appearance a couple of times.

It's been sleeting here for the last couple of hours so we were lucky with the weather.
