Looks good! :clap:
Alright so, do we organise a trip over there to explore the site? :D
Richard Boyd:
Hi Fred I spoke with JP last night and he is also excited about the new site.
I'm up for a visit and Jp is also interested.
Now it's up to us to arrange a time which suits all!!!
Coming from Dublin on the N1 you will exit at junction 20 follow sign for carrickdale hotel and spa about 200m past the hotel take the road on your right and that will take you up to the top !!!
The first foto is the south slope looking over Dundalk
The second is the east slope looking at the town of warren point carling ford lough leading to the Irish Sea. On a good day you can see the Isle of Man

Slope looks lovely, I would also be up for taking a trip to check it out.

Not that I have an OS map in front of me but I believe the location is called 'Clairemont Cairn' on the relevant OS map. I think that it is on the route of the annual 'puc fada', long distance hurling for anyone who doesn't know already, nothing to do with goats.
When are you lads thinking of trying it out? Its probably the best part of an hour from my base, so weather and visa's permitting I might get a day out as well.
