i cant upload my pics, file size is too big... solutions please jonno!

Resize them. I use Picasa from Google (http://picasa.google.co.uk/) to store photos in. It can resize them for you. Or use a photobucket.com account and just link them.

well that truly turned out to me a mini epic. To answer a few of your questions jonno we did get a fire lit but it was bloody hard work but it kept us busy, the bags were great but i was let down by a poor sleepmat and could feel the cold leeching through bit I put my extra fleece under me as extra insulation.

What sort of mat were you using? Did you get a walk on Monday or was Andy too ill?

just a basic self inflate type. But I really should have had a foam mat undernieth but you live and learn. Me, MG1 & chris had a wee dander while Andy had some kip but it's amazing how waste high snow can change even the most straigt forward hill.

I can imagine. What weight was your gear?

[MG1]

It was a crackin trip and def be back in the Glens of Antrim, going up Troston was class it was like fighting your way up really high mountain with the snow and wind beating off you

Also good to meet Paul shame you couldn't have stayed for the camp mate.

I never got the scales out but even with the extra gear I'd still say 10-12kg.
