A camp at Ballyboley Forest then a misty hike along Agnew's Hill to Larnia for the bus home. Looking forward to a returning visit in sunnier weather.

It really is, the soft moss was a delight to sleep on and the mist gave it that eerie / ethereal feeling. Thanks.

Thanks bud, another few locations ticked off the list. I'll PM you later in the week as I may head out again myself.

It's a gem of a place to spend the night.

Cool one Dave.  My local forest too.  I haven't camped there since doing Bronze DofE.  You've done well to make a dull day look enticing. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks G, it was my first time camping there and I'll be back again for another explore.

Fantastic, looks super spooky in the mist. Think I might have camped there myself once before doing a section of the Antrim Hills way.

It was really atmospheric. It's a fairly big forest as well and worth returning for another camp.
