Folks we're heading over to Rams Island for an overnight camp Sat 1st Dec/Sun 2nd Dec (time TBA)
Its a tenner for adults and a fiver for kids this covers your camping and the boat too and from the island.
There is no fresh water on the island so bring what you think you need or water can be filtered from the lough. Rams is a very easy camp in that you can bring as much gear as you like as you're literally on and off the boat and you're at the campsite.
Let us know if your interested in going to be added to the list of attendees, and roughly what time would suit you for the boat over to the island and we'll try and get a time that works for everyone.
Here is a couple of links to videos shot by SpecimanYak of a few previous camps on the island

Lol, I had a hot water bottle and Glenn was soooo jealous!
I wouldn't even drink water out of one of them never mind soup ;D ;D ;D
Great trip though, the kids loved it too. See yis on the 15th!!

Glad you had a good time guys. Any pics? I know I was as guilty as the rest for not putting any up after the Clandeboye trip, but I wasn't on this one so I want to see the photos ;D

Cheers RT, it's a gem of a place and definitely one to tick off the list when you can.

Thanks whoRya, the weather wasn't the best but you know how it goes. Under a big tarp, we settled in for the night and it was easy to ignore the drizzle 'outside' and enjoy it.
Nice one mate sorry I had to cry off :'(
Thanks Torp, it was a grand night and we were thinking off you bud. See you next time.
