I would be interested. I havent got out camping this year and it would be nice to do it before the colder nights come in.

Good stuff Fred.  I think Rumblebum and Typo-on are trying to agree a time to set off at.  Hoping to be sometime around 6:30-6:45pm to try to get up to catch the last of the sunset from the top.

Think I'm taking the boy camping Sat night somewhere with a bit less ascent. Shame, my summit camps have been few and far between lately.

I'm hoping to visit the summit either tonight or tomorrow morning.

There's an orienteering event in Donard Forest sat morning (from 11am), great fun if you haven't tried it before, hoping to have a go myself.

Liam, myself and Rumblebum have things to get back for, so are probably talking about striking camp shortly after 9am in the morning.  We are hoping to take the Shan Slieve>Slievenamaddy route down into Donard Forest, for a bit of variation. 

Just in case you are thinking of coming up in the morning.  Not sure if the other guys fancy that or not.

Sorry guys, up to my ears painting.. And moving boxes.. I swear this is going to be the last move..

[RedLeader]

Have a good one chaps. Looking forward to the pics and goss!

just to wet your appetite   

i popped up to join them, as usual i wish i'd brought my tent 



after a staggered start, and some delays as someone forgot something  we all met up at the waterfall on the steps near the saddle



at the saddle and the craic was mighty, some discussion was had as to whether they should camp here as there was a good view and the summit was clouded out, but it was soon decided that a summit camp is a SUMMIT camp 



commedagh summited, bit foggy



a quick drop down to the commedagh water pipe for some water top up



some long exposure shots









dinner time (note: lenny brought a chinese up, i like his style  )
