Gibbs Island – Friday 13th
s
Gibbs Island, it was somewhere we had yet to explore we knew there was a dark spooky wood on it and it was FRIDAY 13th so after a few MAN UP TABLETS off we went. My friend and his son joined us and as this was their first wild camp I thought somewhere handy and […]
End Of Summer Quick Overnighter
s
We had a quick night around the fire in Annalong Wood after quite a quiet summer. Just a bit of chat around the fire and far, far too many steaks to be healthy! As usual there was a smattering of tents, hammocks and bivvys with people dropping by through the evening either straight up the […]
Antrim Hills and North Coast Hike and Wildcamp
s
I recently had a great wee dander over the Antrim Hills followed by a wildcamp on the north Antrim coast. With weather forecasts warning all week of heavy rain and gales I had reconciled in my mind that “at least I would still be out there”, and that was better than not at all. As […]
Microlight flight
s
For my 40th birthday earlier this year i was given a voucher for a one hour microlight flight with Fly NI near Portadown. I eventually got organised to do this on Thursday past and hit it really lucky with the weather, the winds died down and the sun came out as my take off time […]
My Mourne Wall Walk
s
After much debate and thought, I decided that today would be the day to attempt the Mourne Wall. It is something that I had been thinking about all year but I didnt want to do it before the seven sevens that we were doing for charity in case I hurt myself or it put me […]
Feel the fear and do it anyway….. The Solo Camp
s
If I’m brutally honest the first time I spent alone in a forest at night time freaked the life out of me. Every sound was potentially some knife wielding maniac on his way to attack, every rustle of the wind or sound of an Owl was possibly some evil spirit lurking in the dark woods […]
Dander in the Sperrins
s
Decided it was time to find some mountains and see how out of shape I was, and there is little like a mountain for showing you just how unfit you are. Since we don’t have none of those big city boy mountains here in the west I headed for the Sperrins. Loaded the basic belt […]
Moy to The Argory by Canoe
s
I’ve been doing most of my paddling/canoe sailing in Strangford Lough, since I restored the Canadian last year, so I’ve decided to try and explore some of the inland waterways of Northern Ireland and all they have to offer for a bit of variety. My first outing was going to be a short paddle on […]
Doan Bivvy
s
Planning to meetup on Meelbeg, but ended up running late/biting off a bit too much. 2100 start from Carrick (plant) Little car park. Planning to do another bivvy on the top of Ben Crom, while watching out for lights from Meelbeg. Hit Ben Crom dam just as all light was failing. Anyone know if there […]
Friday night on Meelbeg
s
With thanks to Fred. With such a great weather outlook it was hard to resist a bivvi on Friday night. I hiked into the mournes from Newcastle via the glen river track and brandy pad, arriving on Meelbeg in about three and a half hours. The walk in was very pleasant in the gentle evening […]
