Have to agree with Phil on the roaming issue, although for me even if I know I will have signal the phone goes on silent and anyone important is told prior to leaving that I should be back on x day, only if I haven't returned or phoned 24 hours after that bother to contact me.

When I head outdoors my phone becomes firstly an emergency device, in which case the country doesn't matter. Or it's a gps tracker for my trip, but it looses it's function as a phone the moment the car engine stops.

My first solo camp was at the start of my four day (3 night trip), starting on commedagh.
It was insanely windy (gale force) on the top of commedagh, so I kipped in the summit shelter - no spooky feelings as I knew nobody would be mad enough to chance commedagh in those winds after dark.

My second solo at spinkwee (night 3 of the same trip) was really nice, lovely and quiet and the river just lulls you to sleep

Genius!

I sense sarcasm. I thought it was a genuine common sense suggestion.

No mate, no sarcasm. I hadn't thought of turning off roaming.

General Internet forum paranoia? I get that too
