Unfortunately I need to save all my brownie points at the moment. Shame, I could do a night round the fire rightly.

we will be getting a bus from belfast to newcastle, and heading up from donard car park.
so if you want to walk up with us. meet us at donard car park at 11am, or we can meet you at the camp spot, between 1pm and 2pm because we are taking our time going up because we are taking photos.

I really, really want to join you guys but can't - my other half rarely gets a saturday off and when she does we like to spend it together. She isn't into hillwaking (yet!) *grins evilly* but I reckon I'll get her into it. Buying her initial gear and washing it after each trip (I actually love that part) oughta do it.

Do you usually get the bus down to newcastle from Belfast? Is it regular? I just assumed any time I'd be heading to the mournes I'd need a lift, never even looked into it!

Ballynahinch or the carryduff stop sound like the best bet for me. Do you live in the city centre or you having to travel to europa? And what way are you planning on getting home?

I have to travel to the europa bus station. I just need to get a red bus for that. im getting the bus back again when heading back home.

and if you are getting the bus at ballynahinch or the carryduff stop, make sure you look out for the bus number 520, so you get the right bus.

No problem, and thanks for the bus advice, think il just get the bus at carryduff direction and walk up with you's. What sort of setup are you taking? I was for camping out in a tent but seeing you are going to a forest id say a hammock would be a better shout
