Good stuff, when was the last time you did an overnighter?

I think the plan is to start on the saturday around 10 am, if were covering about 12 miles id say it would take around 7 -  8 hours so at the campsite for after 5 sometime, i think. Maybe Dave or lenny would have a better idea.

Flip il need to bring enough wine.

The Meelmore camp site aint bad, its only £6 and you do have access to the loos etc, however when I walked this from Newcastle to Rostrevor day one (stopping at Meelmore) was tiny compared to day two, both in terms or distance and difficulty. I seen spelga mentioned, in my opinion that would be pretty much half way and I suppose there is access to it from the road. maybe a little exposed. As for stashing fire logs, I'd be willing to leave my car there.... I'm happy where ever we stop, looking forward to a night under canvas...or siliconised ripstop nylon as it may be. 

On a brighter note, I used this walk as an excuse to purchase some new gear. New jetboil flash, xplate, platypus and a few other bits and pieces.
