I have mentioned doing the Wall Walk a couple of times this year and only last night was studying the map with half an idea of attempting it sometime in july so would love to do it. The only problem is my wife is due with our first baby on that Sunday! If I entered this she would kill me!

1st ones tend to be overdue. She will understand phil. Was gonna try this myself early summer so if i do it may attempt it again in sept

All credit to my wife, she is normally very easy going and understanding but I get the feeling if she went into labour and I was somewhere in the mournes and couldnt be found, I would have to set up camp there permanently!

Phil it's easy for us blokes to say tear-on, but we've been in that place before.  Enjoy this time with your family, it'll be a great moment.  You'll feel completely useless, but it's great all the same

Anyone entered this yet? Was debating another go at it: completed it last week and am considering another go at it in September

[phil_b]

Not me unfortunately, reasons as above
Hoping to try it on my own in july before the 7 7's. Did you put a trip review of your wall walk anywhere for me to takea look at?

[LandyLiam]

Well this is now my next challenge attempt, only 2 weeks away, anyone else up for it?

Phil I have a solution for you, if you get the call, break your leg and get airlifted to the same hospital as your wife, simples
