Slieve Binnian – Summit Camp
s
A few weeks ago I headed to attempt on summit camp on Slieve Binnian. Having planned the same on a few previous occasions only for the weather to conspire against me, I was determined to achieve it this time. However with forecasts of wind speeds up to 35mph and gusts of even higher it was […]
Mossies really do like YOU!!
s
No doubt everyone has heard or some may have been guilty of saying, “I don’t know my but mossies and midges seem to love me”. At the same time many of us are probably guilty of thinking that it’s rubbish and said person was just whining.Turns out they were right all along (apologies to all […]
Slieve Bernagh Summit Camp
s
Just back from my first overnight trip to the Mournes. I was very impressed by the extent of wild camping / bivi options on the high tops. My three friends opted to sleep under the shelter stone near the smaller NE tor of Slieve Bernagh. It was a bit tight for 4 and I wasn’t […]
Rathlin Island – View of the Northern Cliffs
s
I was over on Rathlin Island last weekend. Having the family in tow meant civilised accommodation in the Manor House rather than a bivi in the heather. I’ve been over several times before and have walked the whole of the northern clifftop. Unfortunately, walking access is still a problem over there with numerous barbed wire and […]
Loch Altan, Donegal – Wild camping at its finest
s
My son and I had an excellent easter trip to Lough Altan in Donegal. It was wild camping at its finest. An idyllic pitch, a campfire which burned all evening, a haunted mansion, and stars bright in the sky. And best of all, not a midge in sight! We parked up at the Errigal carpark […]
Slieve Lamagan Summit Camp
s
The last couple of years have been very lazy. My plans for all sorts of exciting camps and hikes have mostly been substituted with lazy nights around the fire cooking legs of lamb and swinging gently in hammocks. I was determined that 2014 would be a bit more adventurous and the Bullseye Bivvy Mark 2 […]
Sunny Sperrins
s
Been slowly accumulating some nice shiny gear recently and needed a day out to really test things out, so Got myself down to the Sperrins yesterday. Sadly I caught a dose of lazyitis getting out of bed and so didn’t get down and started until just after 11am. But with good weather and plenty of […]
The greatest socks in the world….. Tribute
s
While we tend to spend a small fortune on various outdoor footwear I would wager not all that many of us have traveled a similar road with regards to what goes underneath. For me this has been something of a five year journey of study and discovery (with a not too healthy amount of skin […]
Delightful Dromara
s
I had a good wee day out with the kids at half-term in and around the Slieve Croob area. There are some interesting things to see and I thought I’d share it just as an idea for others. There is only a few minutes in the car between each of the places. First up was […]
Bann’s Road Circular Route
s
Just before Christmas a friend and I set ourselves a new route some of it covering ground we had yet to set foot on. Setting off from the car park at the end of Bann’s Road on a chilly winter’s day our circular route had Bann’s Road as the centre point. I just had my […]
