i've been told i should prob give this a miss, I've gone over on my ankle again and done my other ankle in! every step I'm hobbling like an old man and a double trek of the brandy pad prob aint the best recovery plan....

So did you guys do the Brandy Pad?

Spark · « **Reply #70 on:** February 07, 2010 »

Waited till 10 at meelmore and no sign of anyone else, so we just set off up the trassy track to hares gap, couldn't see a finger in front of you hardly but think that was all the better as my Stephen might of died if i had of said he was walking that far...! ended up doin a few of the hills as thought it was a shame for Stephen not to get to a few sumits on his first trip..!!So we Followed to wall to Slivenaglogh over to Commedagh, the cloud only broke for a short while to let us get a we look at Commedagh when we were at the top of glogh but think Stephen was amaised when we looked back to see Hares gap and see how far he had walked and how high he was, got to the cairn of commedagh and got a we show of Donard, but Stephen was prity happy to not bother with the top of it......lol so off we went down to the saddle and back to Hares gap via the brandy pad..! once we got back to hares gap the cloud had lifted well and we got a grand veiw on our way down and think Stephen was prity chuffed with himself..........!! and was duely treated to susage bacon and egg by June in meelmore lodge.......!! great wee day have some pics but need to find lead for phone to put them up..!!

So did anyone else get out??

Me and mg1 then headed of over pigeon rock and then made an assent of eagle and came back down along the great gully.

MG1 · « **Reply #73 on:** February 08, 2010 »

The great Gully looks amazing you spend a day scrambling up and down different routes, def a trip for the future

Kirth · « **Reply #74 on:** February 15, 2010 »

Anyone fancy doing this on Sunday? I would like to set off from Bloody bridge and finish at Meelmore, grab a bite to eat and drive back and collect the other car.
