Between Heartbreaker and Doom&Gloom
It's the "old" route from Croghaun to Upper CP. There's a jump in a grassy section in the middle

Welcome back Rudolf. Can't make the digging but see you at 5.
Brian, just a thought... why not post your ETA, then if anyone else is struggling to make 5pm they could meet you at the same time.
