Post by: gbhvespa on February 27, 2012: Great review for the tent, will have to take an extra warm sleeping bag to deal with the draft lol, after reading some of the story's on here we are going to camp at cove caves it looks like a great spot, quite looking forward to getting back into the rough again, haven't been camping in 4 yrs due to having 2 baby's, lol now the bellys away it's time to play...

Post by: gbhvespa on March 04, 2012: Just home from the mournes, we parked at carrick little car park, followed the track to annalong woods then cut left straight up sleeve binnian, from there we went across to slievemagan, then had dinner, we then walked round to cove mountain then up through cove cave, it really is a tight squeeze , I didn't fancy coming back through so I went out to the right and free climbed back down to the entrance to meet Daryl, we then went round to the devils coach road and set up camp by the river, it rained most of the night and hit -3, we got up at 6 and headed straight through the annalong valley back to the car, frozen.com. The wee Lichfield 200 was of but more suited to warmer climates, next trip will be to find the caves at Percy byshee and it will b a day trip...
