Moyle Way - 24th & 25th March 2012

[whoRya]

So it sounds like me Rumblebum and Wolf will be arriving together, with Spud and Craigy arriving together.

Craigy, shall we meet at the car park at grid gef 123 295 (Altarichard Road), then go to a stash spot?

What time gents?  I suppose we'll all try to work around Spud's timing given that there is a train involved.  How early can we expect that to be?

Spud, pm me your number. I'll pick you up in Ballymena.

Is this looking like meeting about 9am, or slightly before?  What about the place I mentioned above?

Just rolling up the tent there, whoo-hoo.  Rolled up all my spare clothes in the bit Rumblebum has to carry  Sssshhhhh, say nowt 

[Spud]

I'll be meeting craigy in ballymena about 8 or so then we can head to the meeting place, I'm sure craigy knows where it is, looking forward to it!

Looks like we might need the suncream with us! 

Suncream or NikWax, its lashing up in ballymena this morning.

[Spud]

Aye it was damp down here this morning too, but it gave that in the forecast! Craigy has ordered the good weather, don't worry!

Hey you will need all the basic's such as:- Tent, Sleeping Bag, Mat, Waterproofs, Fleece, sutable footwear, hat, gloves, torch, food, water, cooking stuff, bag to put it all in & a smile

Hi Mahendra, there are 5 of us going on the Moyle Way tomorrow, although none from Belfast.  With this being a linear (A>B) walk we have made travel arrangements so that we have one car at each end of the walk and as such we have each seat filled.

If you are unsure what gear to bring then perhaps it may be wise to read around the forum a bit to pick up some useful advice to help get some gear together that you are comfortable with before thinking about a fairly long trek.

If people want to join us for the walk that is cool, but unfortunately we are fully committed as regards transport.

Sorry about my lack of replying. I'll be back on in 1 hour. I've sent some people my number. Call me if need be.

[Mourneman]

wonder what stunt craigy123 has lined up 

[Craigy123]

What a day. Busy busy. Right I'm on the ball now. Time to pack my stuff up and get things sorted. 2 bags of wood, 2 fire logs sorted. Just unpacking my tent and re packing it. Maybe not time to bring out the new tent, laim says its a fair weather tent only and going by this morning its unpredictable. Coin flip??? Loads of snacks packed this time, and a wee bottle of cider  . Looking forward to this big time. See you guys tomorrow.

[Rumblebum]

Enjoy the weekend guys, Im pretty envious ATM 

Thanks Dave, its a pity that you and a few of the others had to pull out but sure we can get a wee drink and catch up at the easter camp.

By the way when i saw wee drink i really mean large 

Al.

I've just noticed some of the older posts and can I just say I hope no one has been put off by being asked not to join on this walk. I understand a lot of people are joining the forum all the time and may not get a chance to pre plan some walks, but all walks are planned and arrangements made. Jumping in for a 26 mile walk as soon as you join the forum is a bad idea. There are hikes arranged al the time and it would be best to get a few of these done before doing an over nighter. Everyone is absolutely welcome on any hike as long as some prior planning has been made. This, I'm sure all agree, is for everyones comfort and security. On a brighter note...I've got cider for tomorrow night!!!
