In which his Hughness and consort pay us a visit and Mr Power goes AWOL.<\/p>\n
The forecast was as stated so we decided to stay in the lee of the mountain to miss the worst of the considerable breeze . PS had hurt his back carrying his wallet , Kenny has dissappeared again Mr Scullion and DocL presumably on youngun duty .
\nThe abscence of our regulars was more than compensated for by a Banbridge delegation in then regal form of Mr Suffern ( blessed be his name ) and his security detail Mr M . <\/p>\n
Giants Pad , Fallow loop , trails . Lost Liz to hypothermia an entrance to slieve meel. Over to yellow water where lesley in his exuberence ran over a poor beginner cyclist . The rocks over the river provided me with a spectacular dismount ,how I landed on my feet I’ll never know . <\/p>\n
Up to sheep pen just to put some distance on and back down Penti . Mr P was down Penti well before us and when the three of us got to the bottom he was nowhere to be seen . Now in my innocence I insisted that he would NEVER just head on without us and that something must be wrong . We headed back up to the ford and then split up for the descent , one on the trails one on the road and one on Penti in an attempt to relocate our friend who we would NEVER leave behind. <\/p>\n
Back at the bridge still no sign of said Mr Power so with no phone signal we headed back to Glen to see if he ws there , if not we would head back to yellow water . So imagine our “surprise” to see MR P toasty warm innhis car with the heat on full as we nearly expired for the cold and rain . <\/p>\n
all I can say is……. NOTED ! <\/p>\n
Next week is walk from Davys to Carlingford .<\/p>\n
