Cheers Glenn, it's an absolutely fantastic location, one of the most serene, relaxed camps i've had in a while. The little island was only 10 mins away by boat (which means you can bring everything) and the lough was calm on the way over. Once we had our camp site set up, Heggs and D1ceman were in the hammocks by the shore front and i pitched the tent on soft ground close-by, we received a delivery of logs from a couple of kids on a small quad-bike with trailer! We didn't even have to collect our own wood, perfect.

D1ceman set about making an upside down fire, the first time i've seen one and it worked perfectly, burning down through the larger layers of wood until it was a roaring fire by nightfall. Well done that man.

We walked around the island taking it all in, from the carved wooden figures, the wooden walk-ways, the old buildings, up to the tip of the island with its ramshackle pier and small sandy bay. It was great craic, good company in a unique little location that i know i'll definitely be returning to. Thanks again Heggs and D1ceman, that's been another memorable night out under the stars.

I still cant get over how calm it was.
I was talking to the guy in the boat on the way home and he said it wouldn't be a problem if someone wanted to camp away from the usual spots. I was thinking a bivvy on the beach part would be great.
Cheers guys for an amazing trip and thanks to all the well wishers

Class photies guys can't wait to get a wee trip over we're very envious that we couldn't make it this time.
Firewood delivered by quad bike that's a new one to me, a bit of a carlsberg moment that. Gonna get this ticked sooner rather than later ;D ;D

That was a great wee trip fellas. Cheers to Heggs and SpecimenYak for the top company and great craic.

I'll try to get some of my own photos up over the next few days. I wonder can we set the record for the most fire pics on the one thread.  :P

I'd highly recommend Rams Island to everyone here and I for one will definitely be back. It caters for all types of campers, be it tents, bivvies or hammocks. A great spot and for me a hidden gem that I didn't know existed.

My first camp through NI Wild and a roaring success. Great stuff.

Sorry for the delay folks. Better late then never, I suppose.

Great pics there D1ceman, I forgot to take some of our setups!
Can't wait to organize another one, with or without the kids.
When anyone is interested again, just post here and I'll get it sorted  ;D

Brilliant guys, this looks like a top trip. Will have to get it added as a great potential spot for the future.
