Chance favours the brave - 2 Day Mourne Wall Walk

[MG1]

Guys do we know who all is going on this trip cause we need to get it arranged. At the min i think we might be leaving cars at Meelmore lodge and getting transport to Carrick little so we need to know numbers and times? Its an open invite so anyone can join in the more the better.

And the plan seems to meet @ Meelmore Lodge(Secure Parking) 8-9am and get a taxi to Carrick little.

Looks like a wet start



I love it when a plan comes together
