Sounds like the trip to the pub is going to be a trip to the Mournes for a drink round a camp fire.

Would love to know how everyone is finding room for whatever tipple they are bringing when it seems all are over stretched as it is

Or is it a case of needs must ?

Dirty Duck in Holywood is a great spot, good food too!

Would the best idea not to get a camp site (wild or not) somewhere near a pub then everyone can get blocked, sleep it off in their tents/tarps/hammocks and maybe even go for a jaunt the next day before dispersing/doing it all over again?
Possibly rosstrevor, kilkeel or Annalong? Never stayed in any of them but all have campsites and most probably pubs, plus sit at the foot of the mournes?

That said I can't really think of anywhere I'd happily pitch up and leave my tent et al while going for a "couple" pints.

I like the cut of your jib

Although we have all sorts of problems finding weekends that suit everyone, maybe a brief Sun aft in the boozer might be easier to get everyone to as a first out.

i still think meeting in belfast would be handy as everyone has the option of the last train home.

I dreamt a dream the other night I couldn't sleep a wink
The rats were tryin' to count the sheep and I was off the drink
There were footsteps in the parlour and voices on the stairs
I was climbin' up the walls and movin' round the chairs.
I looked out from under the blanket up at the fireplace.
The Pope and John F. Kennedy were starin' in me face.*
Suddenly it dawned at me I was getting the old D.T.s
When the Child o' Prague began to dance around the mantlepiece.

CHORUS
Goodbye to the Port and Brandy, to the Vodka and the Stag,
To the Schmiddick and the Harpic, the bottled draught and keg.
As I sat lookin' up the Guinness ad I could never figure out
How your man stayed up on the surfboard after 14 pints of stout.

Well I swore upon the bible I'd never touch a drop.
My heart was palpitatin' I was sure 'twas going to stop,
Thinkin' I was dyin' I gave my soul to God to keep.
A tenner to St. Anthony to help me get some sleep.
I fell into an awful nightmare - got a dreadful shock.
When I dreamt there was no Duty-free at the airport down in Knock.
George Seawright was sayin' the rosary and SPUC were on the pill.**
Frank Patterson was gargled and he singin' Spancil Hill.

CHORUS

I dreamt that Mr. Haughey had recaptured Crossmaglen
Then Garret got re-elected and gave it back again.
Dick Spring and Roger Casement were on board the Marita-Ann
As she sailed into Fenit they were singin' Banna Strand.
I dreamt Archbishop McNamara was on Spike Island for 3 nights
Havin' been arrested for supportin' Traveller's rights.
I dreamt that Ruairi Quinn was smokin' marijuana in the Dail
Barry Desmond handin' Frenchies out to scuts in Fianna Fail.

CHORUS

I dreamt of Nell McCafferty and Mary Kenny too
The things that we got up to, but I'm not tellin' you.
I dreamt I was in a jacuzzi along with Alice Glenn
'twas then I knew I'd never ever, ever drink again.

CHORUS

After a good walk up some mountian down the south, then a couple in the local.

With the good old people off the town bringing there music with them.

With the crack going a 90

Nope, we've still never gotten round to it. Too much time spent in the outdoors
