you'll have no problem getting to newcastle, the higher roads may be an issue though, hope to get down later for a look, here the newcastle webcam http://www.savoy-cafe.com/newcastle-webcam/

Gonna bounce up tomorrow probably from bloody bridge, am also going to try find this water pipe up commedagh I've heard about. 

Post some pics of the snow

You'll find water pipe no baw, just keep on left hand side of wall coming down Commedagh (heading west).

I fear I will get a bottle of Buckfast tonight and not be up to much tomorrow. Was trying to stay off drink til Feb but the wine is calling me.

Gonna bounce up tomorrow

love the confidence    i wonder if that pipe freezes over, doubt it would be cold enough at the moment

[clairebear]

Well I say bounce, more a bounce from the car to Brennan's on the way home for a mars bar and ice cream.

Is west when coming down to the saddle on left hand side of wall??

Is west when coming down to the saddle on left hand side of wall??

Na, on left hand side of wall on Commedagh's western side. Heading away from Donard, just south of the wall. Approx. grid ref IJ343,285.

Suppose there's a chance it'll be friz but if not should be easy to find.
