Difficult conditions and surviving- kayaking holiday in Lough Erne, no bacon butties for two days- I'll tell you now I nearly died!!

No Bacon butties for 2 days? My God, you must have looked like a refugee! I don't think I would have had the will to survive.

i was even trying some "tracking " techniques at one point, the smell of cooking bacon is a hard thing to mask when camping.

Huh, you should try camping in some of our official campsites, talk about wild.....

It seems to be the latest drinking craze where you pitch a tent get a skinful and cause havoc and mayhem (until your tent blows down on a windy wet night and you gotta start packing up to go home at 4 am) and the families round about you have to put up with it.

Or is it only in NI this happens.

This wee country is to small to trueley get away in the wild, or is it ?

chris · « **Reply #19 on:** September 24, 2009 »

depends what you mean... wild camping is just camping with no amenities etc. Lets see how wilderness free you think this country is when you eventually get into the mournes, and look how small they are!

To be honest i have not been up to the mournes in years, so i cant wait to see.

Your right chris i never though of the wild camp in that way, without a tent.

What are bivvys like in bad weather ??

wild camping usually involves a tent, by amenities I ment no toilet, running water from a tap etc etc. bivvy's are fine, again it depends what weather you mean, wind is fine, rain tolerable and snow (although i've never experienced it) in a bivvy I immagine would be very cold as it would pile up on you!. I take it you mean a bivvy bag and not a bivvy shelter thing with poles et al...
