We'll leave a marker on the path at the firebreak or call us and we'll come out. Coming in from any other direction is indeed a pain in the bum. We walked out through the forest and it was arduous.

This is where we'll be. Spot is red square, blue line is best route.

don't be tempted to take a short cut through the trees any other way, i did it in daylight and its a little tricky, would be a nightmare in the dark, the blue line is along a small firebreak that you would only find if you had been there before, maybe first person there could place some logs on road to mark the spot, if anyone wants the gps co-ords i have them somewhere

Lenny, can you bring my 2 NI-Wild patches please?
I'll swap them for that Nikwax down proof if you still want it?

Great photos, after the winds and rain on sat i'm sure all were relieved it turned into a really still night for an outing, are the shelters still there, planning on heading there on sat 29th.

Yeah, the big shelter stands and there was a little lean-to beside it that I saw.

Decent, dry night was good fun. My mate enjoyed his first wild camp, and didn't mind the weather this morning when I dragged him up Commedagh... just the uphill that caused suffering! I'll get him signed up on here as he's keen to get out more often.

Good work on the brannock lads.

When i got to the car park i did feel sorry for him having to walk uphill in that weather especially after a night in the little/lidl tent , he must be keen if he wants to come back  :o  fair play to you graham (and don't listen to craig about all that expensive phd/rab gear you need, regatta & karrimor stuff will do fine  ;) )
