Hi I am new to this but keen to meet people who are interested in the outdoors. I am 42 yrs old, I think and I enjoy walking in the mountains and camping. I usually bring my 3 daughter on camping trips at Bloody Bridge camp site although I am hoping my wife will join us this year.

So just a big hello to everyone.

Thanks for the welcomes. It looks like you guys organise some good camping trips, I would love to go some of them and meet everyone who share outdoor interests.

Sound good Kayakgirl, I seen chimney rock talked about in the forum. How many people went and did yous camp at the summit? It has been quite a few years from i have camped in the heart of the mournes but would love to do it again. The people i walked and camped with years ago have all got too used with their home comforts and would not dream of camping out any more.

It ended up just the two of us, we camped beside the north and then walked to the summit once we set up camp to find a Geocaches.
