Hi all, myself and Rumblebum are heading up this Friday night for a wee overnighter on Slieve Bearnagh.  We aim to be leaving Meelmore Lodge at 8:30pm, making for the spot between the North and Summit Torrs.  We'll probably be making the quick descent in the morning back down through Pollaphuca.

You're all welcome to join us, particularly suitable for those feard to stay up on their own  ;)  Drop a wee reply if you are up for it.

Weather is looking ok so far.

ummmm (I am scratching my head). I would love to, how ever I am going to the pub after work for a couple (Not getting drunk (maybe). and I would need a lift at about 6pm if I was going.

So not in my favour im affraid.  :'(

Lenny, if you want to go I can detour to Belfast and pick you up at 1900. But I need to be home early so we would need to be walking for 0800 for me to drop you off.

Cheers Dave. I will think about it and let you know. It may be a last minute decision (if you dont mind) as I have to go to this work do and it maybe good craic.

Good stuff guys, we seem to be of similar minds regarding a quick overnighter.

Just wondering what you guys are planning on eating? I'm torn between trying some dried stuff or something I actually want to eat lol but I don't want to be sitting eating cardboard while you dine on steak, it would be soul destroying :)

Keep the dried food for expeditions up everest... Quick overnighters have Steak and Scotch written all over them  ;)

Sorry I can't join you all for the steak and scotch... My weekend with the kids I'm afraid  :'(

If I was able to get down earlier I'd be more concerned about food.  As it is I'm planning to eat my dinner at home and bring something light to eat up the hill.  Noodles or something like that to fire a bit of hot water into.....with a complementary glass of wine of course.  Torn between a bacon bap or porridge for breakfast.  Nothing to get too jealous off anyway.

Feel free to bring your steak or whatever, I'll be the envious one!

These guys would be up all night!  Start work at 9 on Saturday and then have a full day with the Poleglass, Lagmore cronies and then back again on Sunday..
Dam!! Will leave it this time.. :(
