Times:

Manannán will be meeting at 1700 in the Den on Friday, 29 April, with lifts leaving for Lough Dan at around 1800. All Scouts are asked to have had dinner before they go, and to bring a packed lunch for later that evening. All Scouts must arrive down in full uniform, with hiking boots instead of black shoes.

We expect to be leaving Lough Dan on Monday 2 May at 1200, and to be finished in the Den at 1330.
