Nice one. I was  camping on Slievenaglough myself  on Monday night. Weather wasn't great.

I knew there was going to be snow before I left so it was pretty comfy camp. I was actually planning a night on Commedagh though but couldn't pass that spot. It was a great night.
I was making a coffee and 3 guys jogged past at about 8am lol - fair play to them

Nice, climbing into the tent on a spring evening and waking up to a winter's morning. Great stuff.

Sweet wee spot there Heggs.  I can understand why you were tempted to pitch up when you saw it.

It was Yak, some transformation!
WhoRya - I'm too used to going until dark/raining etc so it was strange setting up in perfect conditions. It was really sheltered too so slept great

So much for spring, it's like a winterpocalopse this year. Good to see peeps making the most of the snow though, looks like a top night.

I know, I've really enjoyed the weather lately! Looking forward to less weighty kit over the next few months though.

Looks great.  The new tent seems to be doing the job, nice bit of kit.
