Hey guys,

As you are aware Manannan will be hostelling from Friday November 14th until Sunday November 16th. The total cost is €30 (including the €10 deposit ). This time Manannan will be moving from one hostel to another. We will be staying in Glendaloch hostel on Friday and will hike from there to Loch Dan on Saturday. Pick up will be from Loch Dan on Sunday (times will be arranged closer to the date). The guys will be expected to carry all their gear and food on the hike, therefore it is essential that they have an adequate rucksack and pack only what they need. A gear list will posted next week and it is important that you use this when packing bags. Each watch AWL will be organising this hostelling and they will be in touch over the coming weeks as there will be no Friday night meetings between now and then. The remainder of the money will be collected on Friday November 14th.

If you have any queries that cannot be addressed by an AWL feel free to contact myself or Feargus.

Thanks,

Eoghan Carrigg
