A weekend of pain and suffering. 28/29 April 2012
« on: February 27, 2012 »
While we were away this weekend, Typ0on, Whorya and myself got to thinking about an overnighter that involved something more than just climbing mountains, eating meat and drinking wine. ( hey this is the stuff that weve trained for).

At the end of april we have an idea for an overnighter that covers some less troden parts of the mournes, plans still have to be finalised but we are thinking of heading towards Percy bische cave, going in as far as we can and seeing if we can find the rest of craigys scalp  ;D

From there then we'l head back out and follow the path to cove cave, its not massive, its slimey and can be nerve wracking but climbing through the little hole to the summit is a recomended buzz.

If you still feel your up for a challenge after all that, then its take on the 'widow maker', the Devils coach road, and then back down for a camp and crack at the blue lough.

All of these things are in the same area so its not an overly long trek, the trips more of an opportunity to bag areas that are on peoples to do list, so if you fancy it we can maybe pencil a date in.

The way we'd be moving we'd definately look more like we are on the way back from 'the field' than on the way to it!

Hi Liam, woops, yeah it does look at fair bit like your idea lol.

I think it would be a good idea alright, it would be more of an activity trip rather than just a long plod.

Mourneman threw in the idea of a bit of climbing or absaling from cove mountain or lamagan slabs which could be interesting, i thought about the possibility of that on the sunday.

There seems to be a good bit of interest so hopefully we can get this arranged.
