Merry Christmas and a happy new year everyone!! I was out on a wee solo trip last night, camping at Cove Lough. The next morning I headed up Cove Mountain and on to Slieve Lamagan. See video below....

Brilliant Heggs, cracking weather and class footage. I'm sure you enjoyed having the mountains to your-self for a quiet night after the hubbub of Xmas. Happy New Year to you and cheers for sharing.
You lucky lucky b/stard (in the words of Monty Python) nice video mate and was just thinking of a wee trip yesterday lol.
Happy New Year to you and Family ;)
Nice one Heggs I'm just back in from walking the dog wishing I was out for a wee camp,the weather over the last few days has been great. Must get out again soon.
Aww guys, it was soooooo calm and not too cold either. Great wee spot. Have to say, coming down Lamagan nearly killed me though lol. It's so steep and rocky.
I was thinking of another camp soon with the brats as it is so calm, if anyone fancies it just gimme a shout and we can try to arrange something. Maybe Annalong again or Fofanny?
Nice camp buddy, hope to be able to do that by the summer myself :)
You should definitely give it a go. How's the back? All good?

Fofanny sounds good mate you got a rough date in mind?
Nice one Heggs and fair play, I don't think I have seen a tent pitched there before. I was up the same night, only a hop, skip and jump across Cove Mountain down at the shelter stone. It was a peachy night and beautiful the next day.

Indeed, I met Ed and Eamonn on the way up. You got a great night too. As Heggs said earlier the weather has been so settled, we don't often get such a long period of time in winter like this.
Looks good, it's great to get out after the Christmas over indulgence.
Torp, I was thinking of tomorrow night but have to put it on hold. Tiling today, and have to grout and build a stud wall tomorrow :(
Maybe next weekend?
WhoRya I probably got the only spot there to pitch. Was a bit damp but had a ground sheet so was fine. Never been to shelter stone so maybe have to check that out.
There was a bit of indulgence while camping too Boron. Mince pies, smarties, Turkey, ham and cherry vodka was on the menu :)
LoL, nice one.
Great stuff, looks like you got good weather for December.
Did indeed Red, was roasting all night!
