Bullseye Bivvy Trip

[Mourneman]

Bring on the Bivvy,

[Dowser]

So who all are definitely going?

I'm there Dude... No weather, work or woman could keep me away from this one.  I'm totally looking forward to the change of scenery 

[Dowser]

whats the situation re a fire on sat night? I know we are all bringing firelogs, but will we be cutting a sod to put the fire in, or are there rocks etc that we could set them on? Just to minimise the impact etc?

I think cutting a big sod and keeping it somewhere safe till morning to cover the fire pit with is the handiest option.  We are by a river too so rocks could be used but I've seen rocks explode, first hand, due to them being saturated with water and building up pressure inside.

I will consider bringing my folding shovel to do the sod but if weight becomes an issue I'm pretty sure my new knife will do the same job.  If it comes to deciding between a bottle of Scotch and a folding shovel I'm pretty sure I know which will win that battle

Proper order! lol sounds like a plan, ground is probably saturated anyway!

You have to be careful with fire when camping!

Ha Ha... Excellent.  Anyone want to volunteer and that could be our beacon for guiding those arriving in the dark

Weather's now actually looking quite good. Decent shower overnight but dry without much wind other than that.

Bring it on, can't wait!

Still a bit of snow lying on the mournes when I was on the way to work this morning! Bring yer thermals! 

[RedLeader]

And a firelog plus perhaps a small snifter to keep out the chill

...And a defibrillator!!!  I just did a 45min workout in the Gym at the office and I think I'm gonna keel over  Not sure what state I'm gonna be in by the time I get to camp!

Great way of choosing a location! Hope you all have a great night, and hope to join you all some time in the future when I have more kit and confidence.
