Looking like a nice wee trip... Word around the campfire is that the capacity of your rucksacks is now judged in sirloin stakes  ;)

Nice one lads, it looks a great wee camp site there.  I haven't managed to get there yet.

You boys certainly are good to yourselves for dinner (and breakfast!).

All the best Kyle, hope you get out - you'll be doing well to lose a sleeping bag at the camp site.

Loving that first photo!

Sorry I'm not up to scratch with names, but I see the gentleman with the red jacket is using a Petzl Nao. What do you think of it?

the dog is a she, a wee cracker she is too! And she slept in the tent with eamonn, he wouldn't bring her out the whole way to the camp and abandon her, that would be a bit of a fly move?
