:o i've just upgraded my pack from 70 to 100L (not so i can carry more gear, its actually so i can stuff my wet tent in quickly next morning  ;) )

Maybe WhoRya and Rumblebum have it right then.... :) Pack size is always talked about when we go out.

Meelmore Summit camp Nov last year, the 20L is on the back of the handsome guy to the left


You know what they say about guys who feel the need to buy big packs!  ;D
Yip, they are seriously hard Doods that shouldn't be messed with ;D

Can't beat a steak on the hill. Tastes awesome every time.

Whenever I see that 20L rucksack waiting for me at the top, I know it'll be time to slim mine down  ;)  :D

Any word of this ever getting going again? The last one was one of the best nights I've ever had in the hills!

Redleader and I were talking about this only a few days ago.  It was a great idea (of mine ;) ) but we only got round to hosting one of them.  Think we've all been so busy this year with other things  ???

It's probably going to be the New Year now before we could do it again but I'll get the idea out there and maybe we could use it as our first NI Wild camp of 2014.

Everybody have a read of this (There's only 12 pages) http://www.ni-wild.co.uk/forum/meets-places-trips-and-reviews/bullseye-bivvy-trip/ and if your interested stick your name below and we can get the dart thrown again and aim for an outing in the first week of January.  It will be a good chance to test out all your new kit that you get at Christmas  :)

This was a brilliant idea (of mine :P), we should totally get another on the books, it was a great night. Hard to believe it was as long ago as February!

Like Dowser says, it's been a balls of a year, hopefully wel'll get out way more next year but between now and Chrimble would be tricky.

Though between Xmas and back to work is a great time to get out and test any Chrimble gifts, might try for a sneaky one :)
