A cracking night under the stars.  I was really looking forward to this one, especially when the weather forecast was looking so favourable.  We were all pretty buzzing when we arrived at the car park and looked at the top of the mountain and the sky above it.

It was a cold night all right; that was part of the fun though.  The view was great watching sunrise and the Bearnagh Slabs looked really impressive from Meelmore.

Cheers to Typo-on for helping me out when I was making such a mess of putting my tent up  :)











It's always good to come home and warm up again.  The only problem is that I've been a bit of tube and have run out of heating oil this evening.  I sit in in my primaloft coat for the second night in a row as I type this  :-[

Great photos, the tent with Orion in the sky is fantastic, looks like a grand night.

Thanks for posting the photos guys.
Looks like you had a good clear night.

So, how cold is cold up there?
Has anyone ever taken a reading on a cold summit camp?

I'm not too sure how cold it was, I think it was -4, -5, though It was so cold that it murdered my I phones battery in no time. Great night though.

Ditto my camera battery.

Mate should you edit the title on the first post of this thread to add "Meelmore" before"Summit Camp" so that if anyone is searching the forum for some ideas of where to pitch, this thread may help them out?
