Heading up Mt Leinster on Saturday morning (23rd Oct) if anyone wants to join me?
Leaving from Ballycrystal around 8:00am, up and back is about 8.5 miles.
Let me know if you're coming so that we don't leave without you

Would be very interested in joining you if you don't mind waiting for a slow lad. Won't give 100% commitment as the quantity and quality of sleep Friday night will be a big factor

Frank, Ballycrystal is on the Kiltealy road out of Bunclody.
I'm picking up 1/2 lads in Ferns so will be coming from the Kiltealy end but can meet you along the road at that pub where we meet for the hill climbs if you like
If Barry is going though you could meet him in Bunclody

Barry, stick Mammy and baby into the spare room Friday night you'll sleep fine :)

Lads

Here is how far we got in the mist, after all the nice weather - we obviously did not want to cross the border!!

Brian and I are heading up Mt Leinster again this Saturday 30th October if anyone would like to join us
same route and same meeting point as last weekend, setting off at 8am
route is doable in road runners but something with a bit more grip would make a difference
