LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO HAVE FUN

So whats the plan, are we all meeting at the Bloody Bridge car park then?

I think I am definately going to go for an out-and-back route, but was thinking of just going as far as the top of Hares' Gap.  Thought might save heading all the way down Hares' Gap and the Trassey Track (again ;)) and shorten the route slightly for any one a bit worried about hacking the full distance.  Myself included!  Apologies in advance for my not so glamorous mapping software, but thinking something along the lines of this:




So that would be 8km each way, 16km total or just shy of 10 miles.  Just a thought... :)

Sorry, re-read the thread from the start and you did say Meelmore > BB... my mistake!  I just assumed BB > Meelmore because of the thread title and JT had mentioned it :)

Personally I'd rather do BB > Meelmore, simply because I've never walked from BB before and all I ever seem to do is walk up the Trassey Track and over Hares' Gap ;D

sound like a plan there spark. #

hi jon looks like your sorted with a bloody bridge start too. Sometime I can't see whats right in front of my face(thread title.)

for us doing the out and back route a trassey start (I also fine myself on this trail more than I want to be ;D) The draw of a sausage, bacon, egg soda is to much of a draw.

And hopefully we all can have a coffee and a chat at the end 8)
