I have too agree another epic Christmas camp it was great to see some old faces again and to meet some new ones. The feast was amazing as usual with titbits doing the rounds of the fire all night. Well done everyone karma all round.

Grizzly Dave, our mad man on the hill is going to let us know what it's like in the morning after he's had his morning swim in the Annalong river and caught his breakfast  8) We'll also check with the car park at Carrick Little at about 10am to see what the conditions are like and will post here. As of 7pm this evening the Head Road and Carrick Little Lane were clear and driveable.

We want to aim to eat by 7ish since it's going to be a cold one. We'll want a good sized fire and plenty of wood gathered before dark to see us through the evening. I'll be aiming to be up there at 2-3pm with an eye to starting cooking before 6pm.

Very good Jonno I like it psml  ;D ;D
Another great camp, great food and great criac thanks to all for a brill night ;) ;) :D :D ;D ;D

What can I say, it was a fantastic evening! Food was awesome bar the smoky mince pies lol.. thanks to all who attended and provided the fabulous food.
 Waking up to snow instead of rain this morning was amazing! It made the camp so much more special. Roll on next year x

It was a pleasure to join you all, if a little late.  Always the highlight of the year for catching up. The weather was fantastic, a couple of extra layers I had were left in the rucksack.  Credit to those keeping the fire going!

Another brilliant Christmas camp folks!

Well done to all who braved that crazy weather to put that feast together, you're all mad in the head!  :D

I'd just like to suggest that we don't put soooo much wine in the gravy next year, it left me in tatters the next day!  ;D

Hopefully il get to see you all again soon.
