I really dont want anyone to miss out on this, so can we vote on a date and just go with the most votes? I'm gonna check out a few sections and try to find a decent camp site.

I'm up for this, best date for me would be 24/25th March.  Sorry I know that's a bit awkward, we'll see how it pans out  :-\

I've added a poll, at the top of the page, to to see when suits everyone for the Moyle Way.

Please select the weekend that suits you and we will go with the majority

Thanks

Voted on the poll.

Its the 17th that would suit me best.

The 24th&25th I'll be doing some Woodbadge training in Crawfordsburn, so its a easy answer for me.

But yes, majority vote will dictate, there will always be another time anyway. :)

Just a thought....This will likely be a 2 day trip, any one wanting to run 26 miles feel free. So given that its 2 days it will be a camp...and a week later there will be another camp, the Easter camp. Now I'm fine with that, I've no one who will tell me off for being away for 2 weekends in a row but I know many people on here have family and other commitments to take into consideration. With this in mind and the aim to make the Easter camp awesome would it be sensible to do this on the 24/25 march? either way I'm still in but I would like the Easter camp to be really good.

The Easter camp is on the 31st March, so if the Moyle way is on the 24/25th March then it would be two weekends in a row for those wanting to attend both.

If the Moyle Way was on the 17th then that leaves a weekend in between the two events to keep the families happyish  ;)

Not trying to sway votes lol, just trying to make it as good as possible.

On another note...Dowser are you following the salt island posts? Think your new ship will be ready to set sail on time?

I joined the thread last night after you pointed me in the right direction.  I should hopefully be up for Salt Island ok.  Going to start working on my ship tonight  :)

This is probably a good time to point out that the 18th is Mothering Sunday.

You didn't read Craigy123's first post then  ;D

Only messing, by the way.  I had read the first post and hadn't realised you could download the route cards, so well spotted  ;)
