End of Summer Quick Overnighter - Friday 30th August
« on: August 22, 2013 »

The summer has been a bit quiet, everyone's been very busy and we're bored on the sofa so Annalong Wood ahoy for some camping, bivvying and hammocking and as ever, copious amounts of meat.

We're just thinking of a quick night around the campfire for a bit of a laugh, I'll probably give the hammock a spin. Everyone's welcome and as ever, it will be family friendly. People can feel free to hike in from wherever they fancy, we'll be parking at Carrick Plant Hire and hitting the road probably about 7pm.

We'll ease ourselves back into it gently before we hit the summits again. I've a few extra pounds to shift first :D

The usual safety and responsibility notice applies, please read, inwardly digest.

Count me in for this, i haven't camped out yet in August (the only month i haven't this year) so this should be ideal.

I'll have had two weekends out in a row by that stage, I'm not brave enough to ask for a third!  Good to see it all getting going again.

I might be up for this.. although I've been camping for 4 days and might not be as keen to get back under the canvas. I will see how I feel on Friday.

If you've been working all week then the absolute best thing to do is have a night round the fire on Friday night :D You know it makes sense!

I think I might have to try and get away from work nice and early on Friday and head down, sounds like a laugh. Aghh the big choice of hitting tent city or just bringing the bivvy bag?????

Great stuff. At the mo the weather looks dry, fingers crossed it will stay that way. It might be lateish before I can get up, maybe 8-9, whoever's there first just grab a decent spot, probably the big stone firepit is best assuming there's not too much broken glass around. Think we're going to go for big steaks for a change :)

Am very much looking forward to it, has been a very quiet summer for camping.

Fingers crossed for the weather think its gonna be ok over night.   We're thinking of heading down early as well hopefully leaving Belfast at about 3:30 and get a good wood pile started and maybe go for a wee explore.  Dont know who's looking forward to it more me or Tom..... ;D ;D ;D
