Meelmore Camp / Slieve Commedagh / Red Arrows

[Dowser]

If anyone needs to spot us I'll have a Vango Juno Teepee (orange/green I think) and SuspectMonkey has a Vango Tempest and we'll be in his black Seat.

We'll have the walkie talkies on channel 6 if anyone has them.

Are you scared to fly the NI Wild Jolly Roger in case they kick you out of Meelmore???

[RedLeader]

The Jolly Roger will be coming too - forgot about that! Arrrr meharties.

Hopefully see you all tomorrow on Commedagh for the Red Arrows.  I'm gonna be setting off at about 6pm tonight from Carrick Little and plan to Wild Camp/Bivvi on Slievelamagan tonight.  My route is shown below.  I'll have my Walkie Talkie turned on and tuned in to Channel 6 at all times, except when I'm snoozing!!!

That's a top route. As a reward once you get to Meelmore you can have whatevers left of a bottle of Grouse and a packet of ribs  

I'm jealous of the summit camp. I really enjoyed Chimney Mountain - can't wait to get out again.

Good to see y'all again, and nice to meet you Liam!  Was a great wee weekend, and I'm still mightly impressed at getting to see a Hawk T1 tearing through the gap between Donard and Commedagh practically at eye level.  Awesome stuff

[LandyLiam]

good to put some faces to names, still think it was a bit strange to see a bivvy at a campsite  but will have to try it myself sometime soon so having a wee look at ebay for an auld bag

was in Newcastle today (only at sea level as legs sore from yesterday  ) and a few old planes flew over the beach, not as loud at the Red Arrows but much closer

Annoyed I never got to this and missed the red arrows but yesterday made up for it my 5year old done binnian with me I only expected him to make it view point at Ben crom . We got to see 2 old planes which made the day even more memorable . I am one proud daddy today :-)

[RedLeader]

We'd another truly awesome weekend. Great walk and great nights craic round the fire and the Red Arrows were blummin brilliant, we had a great view from the top of Commedagh and they flew down the valley between Commedagh and Donard a few times where they were effectively at eye level!
I'll link a few images but there's more in the Flickr group @ http://www.flickr.com/groups/niwild/ (Cheers Suspectmonkey for the photographic aid!)

This was the route we walked:

@Andy: Ditto. Was grounded the whole weekend. Sat afternoon looked great...and a clear night would have made for a great bivvy (grumble grumble)

Good stuff...start them young Not a peep out of him today?

@J: excellent pics.

[Scribble]

Those planes tearing through the gap must of made some roar and sight pics look excellent indeed :-)

Chuck he was up at 7 this morning looking to climb donard :-) he wants his own bivvi bag also to sleep on top of torr on Binnian
