Hi Mr J,

There's a 50:50 chance I might be going to Newcastle, England, this week but if I don't go I will definitely join you for this.

You pick the summit and I'll tag along  :)

All in all I was not thinking of binnan. I was thinking about doing the west of the mournes.

I will look at the map later and make a choice.

Ok folks... Newcastle, England, isn't happening for me so its Newcastle, Co Down  :)

I'm looking forward to finding out where the camp-site turns out to be for this little Mystery Tour  ;)

Well I have 2 ideas one is Hen like Mourneman has posted or we could park next to Spelga Dam and head towards Cock mountain.

Your vote at the top!!!

So with the amount of people saying they will go (5) and 5 votes then we are going to Hen (by the way I said Cock).

I will sort out some timings later.

Lol I said I'd go, but I didn't vote as I have no preference. :)

I voted for Cock (Snigger) because it would be a new summit for me, but I don't mind.  I just want a night in the hills.

I'm so looking forward to this wee outing... It's been a while since I've been proper wild camping.  Been hanging around a lot of woods recently literally, as I've been lounging about in a hammock  ;)

No bivvy bag for me this time though.  I'm doggy sitting this weekend so will be bringing my tent so the wee dog doesn't take off in the middle of the night  ::)

If the dog holds me back any I'll let you all fire on ahead and meet you at the summit.
