The Official NI-WILD Christmas Camp 2011 Thread

No not charlie. In the morning a dog came out of nowhere and was scoffing all the left over food. But before I have a chance he picked up the plastic box the food was in and took the cake out of it.

That was a great turnout and with the weather being kind , was another sucessfull Xmas camp .
Landyliam deserves a special mention for escorting diners up and down the hill in the dark above and beyond the call of duty.
I am looking forward to Dowser and kayak girls photos (should reflect the true spirit of xmas lol)
Just a wee foot note no live trees where harmed in the making of this 2011 Xmas camp.

I needed the exercise to burn the calories off

Sorry for laughing but that was funny    you nearly moved as fast as matthew when something went bang in the fire

Oisin, your photo of the group around the fire through the trees really sums up what we missed, it's a cracker.

yes great pic oisin, thats what i was trying to achieve but failed miserably, my tripod kept moving a little bit 

[Are we there yet?]

Just a wee post to say thank you for Saturday night! In the short time i was there I had good craic and felt very welcomed. Thank you Oisin and Grace for your company and a massive thanks to Liam for escorting us up and down and of course thank you to John, Cerbera147, Charlie and son for the company back down also!

wish i had some pic's to share but as normal i forgot my camera.
Cant wait to do it again!

Anne, Eoghan & Spud

and thank you for the raspberry ruffles, i took the last few home and they went down well with the family for dessert on sunday 

[Dowser]

That was certainly a night to remember and I can't think of a better way to kick off the Christmas Season.

Big thanks to everyone involved.  The effort that everybody put into the food was awesome, resulting in one of the best Crimbo Dinners I've had in a long time.  From the Roast Ham to the Raspberry Ruffles, every bite was a taste sensation!!! 

Oisin, you definitely win the prize for best photo of the year!!! I totally love the night shot of the Christmas Camp and I can see it being used to advertise every Christmas Camp to come.

Few more pictures below.  Sorry there's nothing as exciting as Oisin's shot:

I'l let you into my secret, I didnt even use a tripod, the tree stump did the job just as well.

Very good wild camper,I've been looking into those G0-PRO camera's for some time now,done a wee bit of video editing myself,mostly with Imovie,but i've strarted using Final-cutpro,enjoyed watching that mate,just remember now, how hard the fire was too light until we found the dry bracken,how does Megavideo differ from You-tube then.             MERRY CHRISTMAS

[cerbera147]

My filter on this work laptop won't let me open the Megavideo link 

Doesn't say why 

[LandyLiam]

works ok for me, i only watched as far as the first bridge trying to figure out what the big yella thing on your back was, is that really a pump?

Can you disable the filter, Try use a diffirent browser.

No, it's installed bit the IT dept 

It's actually their 'best' so far   

I'll take a look when down at my parents later today 

[Oisín]

try Vimeo for hosting the video

[Mourneman]

or just edit it so its under the max time for you-tube,think it's 14-15 mins?

[Oisín]

I have videos on Youtube with music (its totally not copyrighted by the way. Wink Wink.) They have just banned my video from certain countries, I think at the minute its just the Germans that cant watch it.
