Hi Joe, welcome to NI Wild.  What OS map covers the Cooleys, I think I read somewhere that you require more than one.  I'm hoping to get down there soon.

Yak, thank you for the greeting. Yes i surely will post some pics. I developed this hammock using military grade ripstop, the kind they use for field stretchers. So looking forward to see how it holds up.
