Just to add a couple of extras:

-Rucksack  ;) :D
-Extra layers, fleece, insulated coat etc for sitting around camp
-Sleeping mat
-Pillow or something that will double up as one

I use one of my dry bags as a pillow. put some air in it then wrap it in a fleece or something.

Extra layers..very important. I was rather cold at the camp on the Mourne way.

I kinda like that this post is separate to the Moyle way main post, things can be over looked in the midst of other posts.

I too would like other peoples kit list to compare with my own.

I wished I had brought a few more, but I wasnt on my own there! lol  Will def be bringing some drinkables on this trip, I can almost taste the steak already!  ;D  What about a fire at this proposed campsite? Is there access to wood etc?

Craigy123

I fully intend to do a wood/drink stash on the morning of the walk. If anyone else wants to I can meet them on route. Beside that we are beside a forest with quite few blown down trees etc. There are no rocks to make a fire ring so a pit will be called upon. I suppose I could stash a spade....
