« on: August 12, 2011 »
Heading up to Slieve Donatd tomorrow with the ball and chain, and the young fella.  Leaving Bloody Bridge carpark about 11am if anybody wants to join the trek.  More than welcome.   :D ;D

We only got about a third of the way up but the Wife couldnt go any further, as she has bad joints at the moment.  We did however see the helicopter heading up the first time, seemed to be heading for Binnian, not sure though.

Fair enough, it's not about getting to the top, it's about having fun outdoors!

The chopper was busy it seems, once to the Sperrins, Donard and then Binnian.

I saw it flying over the M1 in the evening, probably heading home.
