How about sat Berneagh,Meelmore and Meelbeg.
Sunday-Brandy pad,Commedagh,Corragh and Knaglock(i can't spell)
What you think guys? Its hard getting time in the hills so i think we should do as many as possible when we can.

That route was just a suggestion i'm up for anything. whatever the group decided's i'm easy. Jonno the best way to ease into it is to keep walking till you drop you have to push yourself to better yourself.
Commedagh to the Hares gap is a piece of piss anyway once you come off commedagh its pretty flat till the down hill off Knaglock

Definitley! I've always wanted to sleep on a summit and bernagh's pretty well suited to it! Got the old coke can stove goin there so my cook set is weighing in at a hefty 55g (excluding meths).

lol I'm only messing around. The coke can stove thing is just something I wanted to have a go at, other than that its business as usuall kit wise. I'll maybe strip away a few luxuries tho perhaps only 2 coats for this trip!
