Im hoping to be there about 630, whats the craic with parking? where did you guys park last time you were up?

[Mourneman]

You can park your car at the house along the trek,it's the house on the left,with the heavy plant vehicles,it's about £4.00 ,but at least it's better than leaving it at Carricklittle carpark,just knock on the door,ps the Doberman is all bark,no bite ,enjoy the steak lad

[RedLeader]

The house on the lane is Carrick Plant Hire, they have a sign now for the car park, it' basically first left up the lane. It's £3 for the day and £5 overnight. Seems inflation has kicked in already

None from my Menagerie this time.  You were asking about peeps going down early.  My Boss is letting me go home at 4pm so I might be down for 6:30ish.  Depends how the packing goes.  I slipped into my ultra lazy setting last night and got nothing done :-(

That's a shame, catch you next time. Of course, if you get the chance to sneak out take it

Great night lads, thanks for your company, karma to redleader and Matt for helping with cleaning up other peoples rubbish!

[Rumblebum]

Any pics at all guys?

[LandyLiam]

I managed to pop up for a late breakfast so i took a few pics, there were some rough looking faces so no closeups    (campsite is A on map below)








Fourman & I went for a wee dander to Percy Bysshe cave









then i dandered on up the annalong valley to get a geochache, had considered doing the devils coachroad, but decided alone wasn't a good idea






on my way back spotted what looked like a very good campsite beside the river (B on map) is the sunny bit in the middle of pic



a closeup of the spot



found another good camp spot at point c on the map, not much space for tents though, but very handy to the river for water and could be used if there's a noisy lot near the main site 



passed by the binnian tunnel, looks like there was a recent flood here

[Mourneman]

Nice photos Liam,I discovered that wee campsite a while back too,after a trek around hares castle,maybe use it soon
