A camp last week-end at Drinneevar Quarry with Glenn B and Redleader, overlooking Donard Wood and Newcastle. A bit cold and windy but the excellent views more than made up for it.

It was indeed, it took 4 fire-logs to keep us toasty.

Was a spendid night in the hills. The wind didn't let up all night and it was super cold but for February it was fine. Biggest issue for me was bringing a Vango Banshee 300 tent with the poles and pegs of a Vaude Ultralight  I had to use the poles as best I could and remove the inner and sleep on it. Not an ideal setup but needs must and all that.

Definitely a highly recommended spot. Not too hard to get to and as Yak said, spectacular views.

Suppose it could have been worse, you could have put your pack down where Dave set his

Nothing like bringing the smell of the 'outdoors' home with you.
