Think I might treat myself to a steak this weekend.

I'm thinking the same myself...  Though you should be eating Super Noodles and putting the money you save towards your new tent  ;D

Dont, I am so annoyed, The Mountain Hardwear Sprite 1 was on special at cotswold but they sold out. The cheepest I can find is £145 with Eilis Bingham.

Alright lads, i dont think il be able to make this one but hope you have a good night.

Alan.

Shame would of loved to chew the fat about Suarez
Hmmm, i think that would be a debate that would go on late into the night lol. He's a crazzzzzzy man!!

Crazy don't cut it. Come to the camp with a couple of beers and we could chat about that and the fact that Spurs are awsome.
Ha, id like to mate but ive a bit of a stagdo to go to on sat night, i will however   bring the carling cup along to the moyleway trip and i mite let you drink from it ;D

Very tempting to go on this wee trip guys. Gonna wait and see but as a mate is coming home from England for the weekend so if there are plans there I think they will win. Secretly hoping there are none lol.

I maybe wrong but it looks to me the Sprite is in stock at Cotswolds online for £120. http://www.cotswoldoutdoor.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/products.detail/code/71110043

managed to get up to hen for a wee recce today, didn't spot johns recommended spot, well maybe i did and didn't recognise it  :)  (so many torrs) but the first torr you pass has a good flat bit at the top for plenty of tents, not the most sheltered spot though, i reckon john's bit would be better if windy, but the wind up there seems to come from every direction  :o







a word of warning though, if arriving after dark it would be easy to get your self into a predictament if passing this spot as there are plenty of dropoffs and the direct route to the summit is not the correct one

 ::) Is this tomorrow (Friday).  I just assumed it was Saturday.  I can do either so it doesn't matter too much, but can we confirm if its Friday or Saturday please.
