Chance favours the brave - 2 Day Mourne Wall Walk

[ulsterwalker]

I'm still pretty uncertain if I'll make it down or not, might have to pass but will let yall know 

One observation on your kit would be to lose a litre of water, no need for more than a litre in my eyes, plenty availible in the mournes. Maybe bring an empty bladder and fill it up before hitting camp so you have enough for the night

mourne wall is 35 km long and total ascent of 2800 m(9186.4ft).

Recommended finish time is 13 hours clockwise from the 'bottom' and 14 anticlockwise from the 'bottom'. the 'bottom' is carrick little car park..................

Over 2 days no bother

I thought the total ascent was more than that?

Actually, now that I think about it, that sounds like quite a lot - it's 1/3 the height of Everest

Looks like a wet start



I love it when a plan comes together

Still looks like a wet one


Sunday is looking a bit better


Overview for camp

[RedLeader]

Where are you planning to stop overnight?

[666_pack]

Theres 2 option depending on how far round we get on day 1.

If all goes to plan we'll camp @ annalong wood on the far side of Binnian, but if we reach Binnian too late there are a number of possibe camp sites around silent valley dam.

You up for joining us for day 2?

Or possibe camp?

I'm well tempted but alas I absolutely promised the wife my undivided attention for the weekend. After being out and about so much these last months I wouldn't want her to forget how totally awesome I am! No, really.

lol the way the weather looks I think a decent fire will be high on the agenda! annalong wood should be an achievable goal.

failure is not an option

Sat looks like a bit of a wash out












Sunday looks a bit better



Overview of camp conditions

was just thinking to myself there if we'd be fully on the ball we could (should) have sorted out some group items, we could have spilt two three man tents between us, sorted out stoves etc not really much point in 5/6 guys all with stoves when you think about it! food etc could have been grouped to a point.
Not much point now, next time tho it might be an idea to sort something out especially if its a winter camp as we'll porb all be carrying more than enough warm kit already!
