Have an excellent time Glenn, sure packing too much stuff is always part of the experience and you'll know next time what you actually use and what you really need.

strap the tent to the outside of the rucksack to make space for more luxuries, you'll be glad of those luxuries when you get there

Have a good one Glenn, enjoy!

Haha good old mum, sure just think of the exercise hauling all that kit! It's an easy walk, Donard with no kit would be harder, make sure ye take a few photies!

Take it all, make sure the wee fella has a great time. 

One word of warning though be careful with food. It's a good idea to hang your rubbish with food scraps on a tree. If you leave inside the fly sheet you might just have a fox trying to get it.

[Spud]

Aye you will have a fox about up there alright, sure it's all part of the experience!

[Glenn B]

Thanks for the advice guys would not have thought about old Mr Fox must keep that in mind.

Well Glenn,that was some wet night out there,how did the camp go?

[Glenn B]

Fantastic night no rain until 2am then wash out but a brilliant night and bumped in another wilder Scribble who very kindly let us share the shelter of his tarp and as he already had a wee fire going we were sorted. Might try and get a few pics up later can't do it now as we are still sitting waiting for the car to de mist. Might not happen though because we are that wet we're steamin it up.

Great night and great to meet you and Tom , Owen still looking one of Toms knifes. I got the fire lit but your organisation of the wood kept it going all night  . will have to be better organised and bring wine and save my self a trip into annalong .
The path back to car was an experience just gave up trying to keep dry and we just walked through the streams

[Spud]

Well done lads for getting out and sticking it out in those conditions, that's what it's all about, karma to u both!

[Glenn B]

Ha Ha Ha the walk back down to the car was MAD never imagined there could be much surface water should have brought my kayak. Passed a group of fell runners who were greatly overdressed speedos would have been more than enough.

[specimanYak]

Good for you guys, sounds like you all had a grand time, karma added.
