Mourne Way Marathon
By ClaireBear In January this year I decided that this would be the marathon year, not a road one as my body is wrecked so this seemed like the obvious choice. I entered the 10km last year and loved it, the route was nice, great run through kilbroney and the sun was splitting the trees. […]
Slieve Binnian – Summit Camp
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 […]

Slieve Bernagh Summit Camp
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
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
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
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 […]

Delightful Dromara
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 […]
