Donard Summer Camp

Matthew · July 24, 2011, 03:42:04 PM

Given the recent success of the camps and the good times easily accessed Donard Wood I was thinking we should arrange the summer camp. I was initially thinking mid August given the talk about the Red Arrows event on the 6th Aug in Newcastle and the trips to Donegal towards the end of August.

Thoughts on a postcard please!

Provisional dates I would suggest are the 13th or the 20th

I was out in the hammock on friday night in donard wood, the midges where a real pain. So i've now got the insect repellent ordered

In the middle of the night a fox started screaming at us...sounded like this...http://sounds.bl.uk/View.aspx?item=022M-W1CDR0001502-0600V0.xml

I'm up for this camp too.

God that would have scared the bejaysus me..
Lenny decided to go for the Ultralight in the hammock so at the time the only option was purple. Sure it will go well with any of my other kit.

Colour me in! I'm itching for a hammocking weekend.

Times an issue now. The Red Arrows are the 6/7 Aug and there was talk of a Donegal trip on the 20/21. If I do the Red Arrows then it would be complicated to get away again the following weekend meaning the 20/21 would be best for me. Other option is do both at once, camp in Donard Wood on the Red Arrows weekend!

MG1 · July 25, 2011, 01:12:32 PM

I should be able to make it. Plus the wee man.

The weekend of the 20th suits me best for this as something has come up for the 13th

Me and Oisin were planning to come along to this one to try out our newly purchased hammocks also. So its defiantly the 20th? Who's all going?

Matthew · August 08, 2011, 08:31:59 PM

Yea it's definately the 20th, as for who is going I still don't know. Perhaps we should compile a list.... I'll start
