Aye it was a nice morning in the mournes, we only had tea but you'd have been welcome to a cup!  :)

clouds closed in very quickly, by the time we got to the base of doan, we couldnt even see it in front of us!

"doan" go changin!  :D what a great wee mountain!





drying out the gaiters after i went up to my knee in the bog! (though in conjunction with the trusty german army boot, my feet were still warm and dry!)  ;D
