Directions:
Carrick Little car park is 8.6 miles (approx 15mins) from the traffic lights at the far end of the Newcastle promenade, to be exact!
At the end of the promenade, veer left along the A2, signposted Annalong. After 5.2 miles you will enter a 40mph zone and 1.1 mile further on you will see Quarter Road Filling Station on your right. Immediately after/at the filling station turn right into Quarter Road (signposted Silent Valley 5 miles). Continue along this road for 2.3 miles (sharp bend to left after 1.2 miles) and come to a small walled car park (Carrick Little) on your right, opposite Oldtown Road.
Aim for 10:00am (those that are always late, aim for 09:30am!) – we will start walking about 10:30am.
We will provide:
Coffee/tea/sweet treats at the beginning
Lunch on the mountain – filled rolls (please advise your preference BY TEXT spicy chicken/brie and grape/ham and cheese), cereal bars, chocolate bars
Mountain experience?!
Good craic?!
You bring:
A desire for fun
Mug (for car park use at beginning, not being carried!)
Small rucksack or bumbag
Water/juice for 4-5 hours walking (approx 1.5 litres each UNLESS there's a heat wave and you'll need more. Dream on!)
Desired extra snacks such as jelly babies, bananas, whatever!
Waterproof jackets (and bottoms if you have)
Sunscreen (Dream on!)
Change of socks/shoes for driving home (full change of clothes maybe!)
