Limerick Rocks

[Jen]

Have been reading on wiki climbing about some rock about Limerick that might be worth some mid week short hop climbing expeditions.

They all seem to be withing 10-20 miles of limierck. I've got a car and if i can get a few others, ropes, rack, etc I'd be on for making a few recce missions to see if it's worth taking a spin out, maybe on a regular basis?

Here's the sites below, I'm sure there are more about the place that haven't been publicised.

knockroe is a nice spot which is really close with a few routes on it...

have not been to the others but....

Definately worth a short drive from UL... ;D

[mikekk]

ya been there too good enough also been to Knockhourough not the best
I would be up for it sometime

[aislinn]

count me in!

[judithh]

Hey, that sounds just cool! Can you keep me informed when you're going please? I've no exams until the 7th of May... And I'm not good at studying anyway.

[Jen]

A trip to Knockroe has been proposed for Wednesday of this week (12th May), leaving UL by 4.30-5pm.

Myself and Tony are available to drive so there are 6-8 potential spaces (depending on how many ppl we both wish to squish into our cars!)

Will need to get access to gear (if possible!) by Wednesday lunch time. Fergal, can you let me know a time that suits you?

If you need kit (harness, helmet, shoes) post up and I can collect it when I meet Fergal (include shoe size!!) Will need to know this info before Wednesday morning.

Alas I wont be able to make it this time

But just some advice, dont go with a massive group because the farmers there are not so friendly apparently! Dont know how they would take to a big group trekking across their fields! Also you are not exactly spoiled for choice out there, there arent that many routes there so a smaller group works better imo.

I'm gonna take a spot since I'm getting the gear.And the fact I'm going stir crazy.Good way to relax after my exam though!

[Mitch]

Aw man... was hoping to go along to this but I've 2 hour exam starting at 4
If anyone's heading up later, like around 6 that day let me know, I can run over straight after my exam.

Ok, so far we have...

1. Jen (that's me)
2. Gary (shotgun, in charge of tunes, unless some DJ comes along...)
3. Marine (biology)
4. Judith (crazy)
5. Judith (dirty)
6. Clare Mc (with car, [not child] if needed)
7. Tony (with car and maybe the bar???)
8. Fergal (with gear, and bread...as always)
9. Ross (with the green stuff)
10. Mike (KK - not Ok?)
11. Cillian (to follow when done watching over the students!)

Anyone I'm forgetting?

So it looks like we might need another car - Clare Mc do you mind driving? Meeting at the front of PESS at 4.30pm on Wednesday.

If you need shoes, let me know shoe size... we'll grab the rest...

Fearghal,

I'll need to get a helmet and a small/medium harness....let me know when you're getting gear and I'll meet you there to give you a hand!

Over!
