LandyLiam - Camping the Seven Sevens for Charity

[LennyJ1]

Bearnagh is a geat summit camp. Have fun.

[LandyLiam]

Found a lovely spot on the north tor, it suited the wind direction better than the summit, having my supper
Now while watching tollymore forest burn !

I'm stopping reading this post during the week. Makes me sad and jealous

Lying in the tent now with the door open looking towards the lights of belfast, tollymore has nearly stopped burning, saw some blue lights going that direction, you won't be so jealous when I tell you I have to get up at 5.30am to get to work

[LandyLiam]

well that was a perfect nights camping in the mountains, it just doesn't get any better, only problem was that my camera batteries ran out   but got some pics on the phone, will post them tonight (unless i go up again   )

[LandyLiam]

stayed at home tonight so got the pics sorted, still planning on doing commedagh friday night unless someone wants to pic another (Donard or Lamagan)





Sileve Bearnagh ahead in the distance
(the rocky one on the left)



the meelmore stile again, this time its t shirt weather



found this little emergency shelter but the weather was way too good to consider using it



was a bit breezy on the top so camped on the north tor rather than the actual summit
as the wall was on the "right" side



as the sun sets i get a good view of the fog rolling in over the valleys



and i also see a bit of a fire very near tollymore forest
(it didn't get any worse than that and was out again by midnight so may have been a controlled fire)



the sun rises over Commedagh so time to go to work



even more fog in the valleys, my car is parked in there somewhere


4 down, 3 to go

4 down, 3 to go

Thats good going!

Those photos of the fog rolling in look awesome... gonna have to get up there with a camera some evening!  I still need to tick off a Bearnagh summit camp any way  

[LandyLiam]

On Commedagh now, was a warm walk up, down had to get the shorts on I was sweating that much, but chuffing cold and windy at top. The wind direction is right along the wall bso no protection there but fortunately there's a big hole in the ground which offers some shelter, and its to get windier overnight

Nice pictues !!

[LandyLiam]

cheers, hopefully you'll like these ones of Commedagh as well 



the sun sets over the wall on Commedagh




Bearnagh provides the backdrop here



found a little hole to put my tent in to avoid most of the wind



all this came in one rucksack 





come on Liam, get up and see the sunrise




no, its all foggy out there



should have stayed in bed 



i couldn't even  see the stone hut most of the time


thats 5 done, 2 more to go, will need some good weather and light winds though

[RedLeader]

Great sunrise. You're doing a fine job.

[LandyLiam]

Well its nearly a week since i camped out and it seems like a month  so unless the forecast changes dramatically i'll be doing Slievelamagan this Fri night, all welcome.
