Wannabe swinger from the mournes
« on: January 31, 2017 »

Hi guys and gals.
Interested in getting into the hammocking but a little daunted..Live above annalong forest on side of Carrick little so plenty of local options..Be having a stumble through the forum and has definitely wet the appetite. Have young family and would love to get them interested in the great outdoors..If anyone's going for a dangle in the Mournes and wouldn't mind me having a look at set up and a small interrogation be greatly appreciated.

G'ud luck

Hi Billy and welcome to the forum, your in the right place as many of the guys here use hammocks, I would keep an eye on the
Meets, places, trips and reviews for people going out on trips.

Welcome aboard mate, best advice I could give regarding hammocks is keep it simple, try and not over complicate it and definitely buy one they're great fun and really comfortable I always get a great nights sleep in mine.
Annalong wood is a great spot we use it right and regular and really handy for you.

Welcome. If you're looking to get a hammock you can't go wrong with the ones from DD Hammocks. I've had one for a few years and it's good kit.
