Great day for it mourneman, have to get up there for a camp soon, great looking spot, where did you start off from?
Title: Re: Sunday 6th into Monday 7th
Post by: Mourneman on May 06, 2012
Parked in tollymore & was very happy to find this wee glen,what a fantastic spot for a camp,had a good look at the river as well,some nice brownies lurking in the pools,being thinking of sorting out a day bouldering soon & this river is perfect,so if anyone fancies joining I'll be posting the thread in the next few weeks  ;D

i was in donard forest cycling this afternoon and popped over to the edge of tollymore and was tempted to pop up to the campsite but the going got a bit tricky on the bike so turned back

Funny, seems there were a lot of us up there yesterday. Three friends and me walked up to the Spinkwee campsite through Tollymore and arrived at it at about 6pm. No sign of anybody else though.
