For the trip to the Cooley Mountains on Sunday 13th we are organising a minibus or two to get us from the finish point in Carlingford to the start point near Anglesey Mountain for a linear walk, so to allow us plan with correct numbers you must notify John at 086-2772633 before 1pm on Saturday 20th July. If anyone turns up in Barrack Street between 8.20 and 8.30am (note time) on Sunday morning without making contact with the leader beforehand they will not be guaranteed a bus seat.
We will be travelling to Carlingford by car. Before returning to Carlow we will have a meal in the Carlingford area. We expect to arrive back in Carlow between 9.30pm and 10.30pm on Sunday night. We were blessed with the weather, having made the decision to leave Carlow early (08:30) we managed to almost avoid the rain altogether. We went into the South Prison from Camara hill side and ascended the large gully to the top. From there we went over to the Col between Lug and Cannow and dropped into the North Prison where we Scrambled up a short Gully., Given the fact that it was so early and such a nice day, we then dropped into back down under a Crag and up a longer and cleaner Gully. Then we headed for Camara hill and back to the car just before a large shower. A great day was had by all and looking forward to next Months Scramble.
