The weekend! (edited)
Hey people!
Saturday - Meeting at the Yellow at 10am. We’re going to head up towards 3 rock probably at a nice easy pace. Everybody is welcome!
Sunday is a little bit more tricky to organise because of the Mad Lash on saturday night, so I need you folks to help me out! I think a trip to Ballinastoe is in order but we need to organise transport for everyone who wants to go. It would be great if you could offer a lift and i’m sure your passenger(s) will provide you with some sweets! What i need everyone to do is email me and tell me if you need a lift, and most importantly if you can offer a lift. We will be meeting in Ballinastoe Carpark at 1130 - it takes about 40 mins to get there from the Yellow House. Lifts are first come, first served! (can i have a lift please 
? )
Directions to Ballinastoe, approaching from the M50:
* Continue along the M50 until it merges with the M11
* Follow the M/N11 for about 5 miles and take the turn off for Roundwood/ Glendalough (R755) * Follow the R755 for about 5 miles until you come to a crossroads at Djouce Golf Club
* Turn right and then turn left at the end of this road
* The forest entrance is about 200 meters on the right

*EDIT*
Sorry, i forgot to mention that beginners are welcome on Sunday for the trip to Ballinastoe as well! The Blast track is well worth the trip! So, again email me if you need a lift or can offer a lift.
