rock climbing - slieve donard - sun 13/5/12

[Eamonn]

Hello Big E, Allyc, Hopefully edd and myself can be there as well, i'll bring a couple of spare harnesses as well, where are you thinking of going to ?

Hey Alan, it would be great if you and Edd could make it. I was thinking of heading to Eagle Rocks.

[Eamonn]

So the plan is to meet in Donard park on sunday at 0930 and head for Eagle Rocks. Does that suit everyone?

Have you thought of any routes on eagle rocks from the guide book

if i can make it that time suits me well, any idea what time you'd be finished at?

If no-one minds, I would be up for joining you guys on Sunday (got to love not working Sunday any more  ).
I have harness, shoes, nuts, rocks, slings etc. No rope or cams yet.

If anyone is coming through Belfast I'll chip in petrol money for a lift, otherwise I'll get the bus: will be a bit later but can run up and meet you easy enough.

Unfortunately, it's looking wet and pretty windy for Sunday. Hopefully weather has a change of heart

Planning to join you guys on sunday...was chatting to Big E. 

Ran into a possible wee problem tho....my car maybe off the road come sunday so just wondering are any of you guys travelling from Belfast direction??  Possible car share?  If not no worries I could probably catch a bus....but will see how it goes 

Weather is not looking great for Sunday...hope it shows it picking up soon!

Weather looking a bit drier although still strong winds. Will see what it says this evening.

Lou, if you car's ok, can I share a lift with you from Belfast? Will contribute to petrol. Otherwise, I can recommend joining me on the first bus 520 service... think it leaves Europa about 8:30 has you in Newcastle before 10. £13 return.

[Are we there yet?]

Does anybody have helmets?

I have one. Think ropes will be the limiting factor... happy to lend helmet to whoever is climbing at the time.
