NI-Wild Trips & Adventures - 2011
« on: November 29, 2010 »

I know it seems a bit mad to be talking about the New Year already, but I guess its not all that far away.  After reading Chris' post about heading to Donegal and RedLeader mentioning that we have talked about a Donegal trip and never got around to it, I'm wondering what trips we should pencil in for 2011?

Snowdon has been talked about, as has a Scottish winter trip.  Then most of us (apart from Liam!) still have the main summit camps to tick off.  The Mourne Wall needs doing, and those who did it last year are due another circuit ;)  And of course the Seven Seven's.

Any other ideas for new and exciting trips in 2011?  Personally I'd like to visit more of Irelands mountains other than just the Mournes.  Thinking a few weekend trips to Wicklow Mountains and Magillycuddy Reeks may be called for 8)

I'd like to reinstate the Seven Sevens summit camps, ie camp on the summit of each at some stage through the year.

So far the only Seven I've managed to do a summit camp on is Binnian.  Must do better!

I'm def doing this next year

mmm, I've had a map of Skye for years and never got there.  I've never done outdoors climbing yet, but if I got some practice on similar grades and did a few abseils, I'd be up for the ridge! ...or at least warm up on the mini one if going all that way  :)

I don't know many of you on here...

However, I do run Try Caving weekends with some of the other guys on the rescue team...

I'm willing to organise something if folks here are up for it...?
