Ahh i do love a good old summit camp!
Thanks to all who were able to make it last night, I've been trying to camp on Commedagh for a while now and other things have just got in the way.
We really struck it lucky with the weather, a little less cloud cover would have been ideal but I guess you can't have it all.
Good to see Lenny out again and thanks to Fred for joining us.
Youl bring that tent the next time Liam won't ya! :)
Youl never walk alone, youuul neveeer walllk......

I had a great night, it was good banter round the fire.  Nice to catch up with the oul' hands and put some new faces to names.

I've seen loads of reports of overnighters up Commedagh on here, it was great to finally spend the night up there myself.

The mountains really put on show this morning, I could have been tempted to spend a lot longer just sitting watching the shifting clouds. 

Hope you enjoyed spending a bit longer down there Fred.

Here's a few more photies.

It was a great night lads and Im pleased to have met more of the NI wild group. I hiked down to hares gap on saturday and came back via the brandy pad with a few diversions along the way. All in all a great weekend.

Nice one guys. We'll have to get a big summit camp organised before the weather gets too bad. Get the band back together as it were :)

I relly enjoyed myself on Friday. so glad I bought a pre cooked chinese and Wine in my Playtpus. So glad we never went without heat also (Everyone bought a firelog ::)).

Rumblebum was very generous passing food around and offering to share his meat with TypoOn & Fred (Who is a vegetarian ;D).

I also took some Bannock mix to have but never got round to making it. All my kit work well which included a virgin summit trip for my tent.

Great to meet up with some of the crew after such a long time. Deffo gonna get up again before winter comes ???

Loads of places, most garages that sell coal etc have them, b and m bargains have them, some supermarkets too, should be easier to get now the "summer" is over!  ;D
