Illegal checkpoint

Anybody else hear about this?  Makes me kinda worried to be driving around there now especially if I'm wearing some army gear for hiking.

when I heard that I thought 'how would I react' to that, especially on my own! I think I'd need to change my jeans to be honest.

Not good news for me considering 90% of my kit is Army Issue.  I think my Primus cooking kit is the only thing not DPM  :o

I think were gonna have to get ourselves some sort of NI Wild ID cards issued  :P
