Title: A return to Rams Island Saturday 17th/18th
Post by: Glenn B on October 11, 2015
After seeing the photos and reading the write ups from the last Rams Island trip I've been busting to get over for a wee overnight camp so I gave Heggs a shout, he's up for it and provisionally booked the boat. If your interested in joining us shout up and it's a case of car, boat, island and camp so you can bring as much or as little gear as you want. (hmmmm more beer) ;D ;D ;D ;D

Really annoyed I missed the last trip, and I've already cleared Saturday for an overnighter, so if no-one minds a newbie, put me down.

Hey fellas, that sounds like a great idea.

Unfortunately, the next few weekends aren't great for me so I'll have to miss out on this one  :-[

I think anyone who hasn't been will love the place!

Have a good one folks, and hopefully we can arrange another wee jaunt over in November (weather permitting).

I've confirmed the boat and we should be OK heading over early afternoon. I'll get the exact time closer to Saturday. Bring a folding chair guys if yous have one, it makes things so much more comfortable around the fire. D1ceman we'll definitely get another trip in another few weeks, I might bring some Bushmills and coke in honour of you lol

Definitely mate. We can keep an eye on the November weather closer to the time and try to pick a dry(ish) weekend [If there is such a thing in November]

...I might bring some Bushmills and coke in honour of you lol
I think you should definitely do that. I'll be sure to bring some more next time too.

I can just hear all the whiskey connoisseurs shouting at their computers  ;D ;D ;D

Any more thoughts/details on the Rams Island excursion?

I usually text Michael (the boat guy) the day before so I'll find out times early tomorrow and I'll stick them up here. I'm looking forward to it, it has been pretty calm all week which is hopefully a good sign. Just to make sure you guys know, its £10 for the boat/camp and parking is pretty secure in a locked yard

A great location, a great night and great company. A spot which I'll be back to again and again. Martin your timing of the fire was spot on mate, light it, leave it back from a wee bit of exploring and it was just perfect for cooking.
Will get a proper we write up done over the next day or two.
