New tent for me :)

[Oisín]

Just purchased a new tent with the other half.

Its a Coleman    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Coleman-Pictor-Two-Man-Tent/dp/B0030BG9N8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=sports&qid=1305809880&sr=8-1


Will get its first night out tomorrow. Due to amazon next day delivery, a months free trial might I add too. Only bought it a few hours ago and its coming tomorrow morning.

r u planing to go hiking with that?

[Oisín]

Hoping to.

Maybe not a full days hike, but definitely a few more in the wild locations.

If you can split it between two you'll be fine. Now to get that bad boy wet

[cerbera147]

Plenty of porch room as well

[Oisín]

Yeah its to be split between two. And agreed with the porch room, thats what swung it for us. Nothing worse than it raining and having no where to cook dinner.

[Oisín]

Oh and we're testing it tomorrow and Saturday night @ Carnfunnock campsite, Larne.

Anyone wants to join us feel free to drop me or Grace a message.

[RedLeader]

Lucky you. After you give it an airing in Carnfunnock get off into the Mournes for some wild camping!

Down the road from me 

I just picked up a Vango Banshee 300 from Decathlon. Definitely have to get out in it soon.

Also have a Lichfield Apache 4+ for car camping. Plenty o' space with two porches but it's no backpacking tent

Mournes are a big distance, I will get there at some point.

Thinking of trying the Sperrins, seems good also. Think I read its the most unexplored mountian range in northern ireland. (that might of been tourism propaganda though)

[VMCC]

I live at the foot of the sperrins and they are barely walked. Although they are not as high as the mournes they cover a much greater area. Cuilcagh in Fermanagh doesnt get much attention either. The thing is the mournes can be like the M1 sometimes!

Enjoy Carnfunnock, I've been camping there too. The coffee shop does a great cooked breakfast, or it did when I was there. Great view too.

[Oisín]

Agreed, only thing is public transport down that area is a bit scarse. ever since the train line got removed back in the day.

[VMCC]

Jeez that was even before my time! No it's buses only but if you get as far as Omagh, give me a shout as I could drop you and Grace off at the bottom of the nearest hill. PM me if you want to do that.

[Oisín]

Thanks alot mate. I might actually take you up on that sometime during the summer.

Looks good. Nice porch and two doors (always handy when the wind changes and extra ventilation).
