You'd have thought we would have heard it.

That's an age old question lol : http://wiki.answers.com/Q/If_a_tree_falls_in_the_forest_and_no_one_is_around_to_hear_it_does_it_make_a_sound

Something tells me Suspect and I did hear it.  Again, I'm fairly sure we turned to each other at one point and said "What was that?" but we were drinking by that time so I can't be sure  :-\

That's my sort of post. Some deep and meaningful philosophy that may or may not have been compromised by too much scotch. I like it  8)

Yep, I definitely remember hearing a loud bang in the distance at one stage of the evening!  Of course it could have just been RedLeader trying to sit down on a log beside the fire ;D

Man I'm taking some grief over that, just my luck that Landy "paparazzi" Liam was on hand to take a well timed snap  :P Anyone would think I was the first person to ever fall over  ::)

It was the funniest thing I have seen this year (Ok, we're only three days in) but it will be hard to beat.  It wasn't just the falling over.  It was the sprockling about on your back trying to get up that had me in stitches.  Noticed nobody offered you a helping hand.  All too busy laughing.  I nearly spilt my scotch  ;D

I was briefly rolling around like an upturned crab, I must have had a dodgy Scotch that upset my balance ;)
Now I wish I had sawed through your hammock support on Monday morning when you needed some help getting up :P

Hi Dean, if you click the "notify" button on this thread
http://www.ni-wild.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=1231.15
you will get an email each time a quick overnighter is arranged  :)

oops, just noticed this trip wasn't mentioned there  :-[
the way round that is to also click on notify for the whole section in which case you get an email for each new thread started

There will definitely be a few more camps in February, if not before!!!

Unfortunately this January is going to be a very busy month for me, and unless there is a load of snow to draw me into the hills it will be February before I really get stuck in again.

We have a lot of big ideas for this year, and we will be posting details about all the trips here on the forum, so hopefully you will be able to come along and join us.
