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?

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!
