Quick Overnighter - New Years Day
« on: December 28, 2011 »

My reliability has been somewhat suspect recently but I'm going to try for an overnighter from 1-2nd Jan which is Sun/Mon. Monday is my birthday and this seems a great way to celebrate, after all, you're only 25 once!

Not sure what the plan is, I have a hankering for a wildcamp somewhere a bit higher up but I could also be persuaded into a few beers round the fire.

i will be doing one of the following:

1. camping on summit 31st Dec
2. walking up for the new year (leave bloody bridge about 10pm) and coming straight down again
3. walking up early morning on 1st to see the dawn (not sure what time i'd have to start at)
4. sitting by the fire at home with a case of magners on 31st, then join redleader for the birthday bash on 1st jan

option 4 currently looking very appealing  :)
