Doan Summit Camp

[Scribble]

Looks like a cracking spot and the view to wake up to from the tarp setup must of put a massive smile on your face I dare say it was near as wide as mine after the football result

Looks like a pretty special time was had.  Almost brought cheer to me after the football result

looks good guys. Mike was that the same spot we bivvied last year?

[MikeD]

Almost, I looked for the exact spot, but the top of Doan seemed a lot bigger when we got up there this time, but not sure.  I think we were more over to the left - looking more directly down on Ben Crom - I think !

Yeap... Have to agree totally... Looks like an excellent trip and this pic is defo my fav:



Why do I never get mornings like that in the hills... Maybe I should try climbing out of my bivvy bag before lunchtime

It was really weird how the clouds slipped in. We could see them gradually easing over the saddles and hanging over the loughs, it was pretty awesome. By the time we were leaving it was cloudy all over. Hopefully come the summer we'll be lazing in our shorts catching a few rays before hitting the trail

The way those clouds are coming in, it wouldn't have needed to be night time after watching this

[MG1]

I think i watched that film. Does in invovle aliens in the fog? And a really horrible ending?

[MikeD]

yep, its pretty good as horror films go.

I watched that one night with a massive hangover. It melted my head

The clouds were pretty awesome... so close to finally seeing a cloud inversion but unfortunately we were just on the wrong summit.  The clouds were lying low over Dundrum Bay and we could see right over the top of them, and then we had more cloud spilling over Hares Gap and Pollaphuca.  As RedLeader says, by the time we were passing Tollymore on the way home it was just back to a plain, grey sky.
