some pics:



clouds closed in very quickly, by the time we got to the base of doan, we couldnt even see it in front of us!



and people (obviously nobody on here! :)) say I am crazy for trekking up the mournes to camp, this is what its all about for me, food for the soul!!







"doan" go changin!  :D what a great wee mountain!





drying out the gaiters after i went up to my knee in the bog! (though in conjunction with the trusty german army boot, my feet were still warm and dry!)  ;D
