Pre- Easter camp walk
« on: March 27, 2013 »
So as we all know the Easter camp is at Donard woods this weekend, and the fun kicks off early evening. But...

Does anyone fancy a walk beforehand?

 I was thinking of starting early and parking at either meelmore lodge or the trassy carpark - then from there walking the trassy path to hares gap, then between Commedagh and Donard and onwards to the forest. It's probably a 3 hour walk but max elevation of 570 so hopefully still above freezing. Not sure if I will bother if alone - but maybe I can recruit someone to join? :)

Hi Kyle, i know a few of us will be heading up from Donard carpark so we won't be able to make the route you've suggested but could i interest you in maybe a hike upto Donard on the day once we've made camp? I was a bit trepidatious about heading to the summit on my own on Wednesday so some company would be great, sure talk to you on the day, see you there.

I would love to join you guys, I've pretty much abandoned my idea as the snow shows now sign of clearing off.

Thanks!

What time are you arriving at camp and heading off for the hike?
