You guys are certainly getting out and about this weather.

Fair play to ya's, I am not envious in the slightest 

[whoRya]

Cheer up lads, you're all looking a bit Death Metal on it.  Was that Spud's idea?



Good wee trip there, nice to see the pics.

You are braver guys than me wandering about up there at midnight, stay off the moors and on the path an all that I'd have been afraid of running into Spud's four arsed beast. Nice one guys wasn't it a great night to be out. 

[Rusty Madra]

Looks good fellas! Itching to get this new Bivy on the go but stuffed with work at the mo. Will def get out soon!

[RedLeader]

Looks great guys, I'd love to do a bit more exploring around there, I've never even been down the Banns road. Did you camp at Miners Hole, then hike up to Lough Shannagh and back down?

Aye we got camp set up, had a good munch etc and then took a midnight hike up to lough shannagh and back, was great craic in the dark, lough shannagh was so still you could see the mountains reflections in it even in the dark! Would be a great night hike even if u weren't camping.

Coming soon - "mournes" the new album from thrash combo "4 men and a dog" 

Coming soon 'This Mountain Goes up to 11' the new album by 'Binnian Tap' featuring such great hits like 'Walk to the Hills', 'Trek Way to Hell' and their inspiring ballad 'The Rhyme of the Ancient Meanderer'. I'd buy it.
