Please check the forecast before you go and dress accordingly

Bring some food, and plenty of water.

Meeting Points: We meet at Exchange street car park. There we can share cars or give lifts to anyone who needs one. We will leave here at 10am to make our way to the walk starting point.
Alternatively you can meet us at Glenshane forest car park(Glenshane road BT47 4SD). The walk will start at 11:15 am.
The car park at Glenshane forest is quite small and you could easily miss it, it is the second turn on the left after the Ponderosa pub (which is on the right coming from Belfast)
