Donard wood camp 23.03.13
« on: March 22, 2013 »
With the desire of a snow camp becoming almost the only thing I can think about and the need to knock a camp on Donard of my list I'm heading to Donard this Saturday night.

My partner in crime (rumblebum) will also be braving the elements. All welcome but only come if you feel it's within your comfort zone and your prepared to sing happy birthday to one of my kids who kindly let daddy go camping because she knows how much I want it!!! :)

ATM the plan is to be down for about 18:30

Well we are hopeful the wind drops a bit, if not I'm sure we will select something more sensible :)

If its mental are yas gonna drop down a bit??  May be tempted as I'm not getting out of Dundonald today, wind mental. 

I could be tempted but on my lonesome tonight was just too crazy.

Yeah we plan to reevaluate if the conditions are not favourable. I'm willing to put up with a fair bit of wind but as its not a solo camp it needs to be good enough to chitter and I want to have a play in the snow :)

The plan is Donard Carpark and nope thats coolio. Im thinking since the wind is coming from the east we should be able to hunker down behind the wall.

What tent did you get?
