Hi Jaxter
Is there still 1 bunk or has it gone? Looking at the weather I was hoping to start my Mamores assault and this could be a good opportunity as my usual walking buddies have done these and I am playing catch up when they are not out. :shock:
If no space there is no worries as I have a tent or a Motorhome but prefer not the latter as it is pretty large just for me.

Anyone else thinking of the Mamores over 2 days?

Anybody coming in on Thursday evening perhaps? We are thinking about it cause we're camping and no need to pre book anything.

The plans are highly flexible but Streap possibly, depending on weather?

Would like to join some of you for the saturday mamores if possible. The two suggested sound good. Haven't been out since christmas so would also like to add to my tally. Though am a 3 season walker so if it's looking like crampons may do something lower although didn't look like a lot of snow on the hills last weekend. Any hill on sunday would be a bonus as weather's looking a bit miserable!

Folks - I'm going to have to back out of this weekend due to work commitments. Massively disappointed, but hey ho.

Good luck with the weather and routes, and I'll be thinking of you all with no small amount of jealousy!
