We're heading back to Fossa for another 4 days of madness, debauchery, and mountaineering. The hostel is fantastic - warm, hot showers, decent beds, everything you could want. We do mountaineering stuff during the days and go drinking by night. Then on New Year's Eve, the committee cook everyone a gourmet dinner (we're thinking at least 6 courses this year)!! mmmmmm tasty!.

The rough plan:
Arrive on the 28th - eat, drink, and be merry whenever you get there.
29th - chill out, hike / climb / whatever takes your merry fancy
30th - merry mountain day. we're hoping to pair freshers / inexperienced people with the more experienced and head out doing proper "mountaineering" routes i.e. not the usual route up the mountains
31st - head up the highest mountain in Ireland and have celebratory booze!
1st - decide you need to wash and go home.

Check out the gmap to see where to go (and where Carrantouhill is)

We're hosting an intercollegiate meet in the IMC hut, Nov 21-23rd! Last year it was held by QUB and great craic so it's our turn this year. It's a chance to meet, hike, climb and drink with people from university clubs from around the country. The plan is to head down Friday night, then depending on the weather go climbing / hiking / bouldering.

We'll have copies of all the maps, topos, and guides of the area for everyone to get the most out of the area so if you've never been, or a Glendo veteran, it's going to be a great weekend.

All you need is food, beer, a sleeping bag and mat, and money for the pub and hut. There's room for camping too.

More details to follow. Spread word to the other clubs, read about it in the forum here!
