From word of mouth I was aware that there were structures of some sort on the Annalong Valley slopes of Slieve Binnian but I had never seen any solid information describing them. Still, the thought of people erecting buildings on the side of a mountain intrigued me and I reckoned it warranted some investigation. From the […]

Over the weekend I had a small solo camp on the summit of Meelmore. I usually can only go camping when the car is packed with luxuries for the other half, but with things and the way it worked out, I was able to do a bit of proper camping 🙂 I paid for overnight […]
Continued from Part 1. Great result Claire, still don’t understand how you ended up Pigeon Rock though at least it was at the end of the day. I imagine a mistake like early on would really demoralise you and you certainley need all the morale you can get for this event. Great to meet up again […]

Last year I had a walk up around the Garron Plateau and was really struck with the area. As I sat eating lunch whilst enjoying the scenery I vowed to return some time and spend a bit longer. On that previous occasion I only got the briefest of glimpses of the ‘hidden’ village of Galboly […]
Saw this item today in Maplin when out http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/brunton-hydrogen-reactor-portable-powerbank-n39dt. It was sheer chance I spotted it as they had it sat next to an unboxed biolite stove and I was nosing at that stunned and just how huge and horrid a thing it was for the purpose (glad I didn’t jump on that wagon when […]
