Ooh I'm tempted.  I might try to negotiate a quick in and quick out.

After watching this GIF for an entire lunch time I feel I should really go, I'm in!

Might be an early start for me on Saturday morning though, what times does the sun rise  :o

I'll be intending to be there at 745/8ish or so this evening. Anyone who wants updates and doesn't have my mobile PM me.

We'll have walkie talkies on channel 6 if anyone uses one, if anyone is hiking over and wants us to keep an ear on your arrival text me when you're setting out or else we'll assume you're tucked up warm in front of Corrie  8)

I've PM'd everyone a rough spot but it will need to be flexible, we'll stay as close as we can.

There are weather warnings in place for cold, the forecast is to be clear, it's going to be brass monkeys out there  8)

Definitely, don't hold back on the photos! You are using walkie talkies? That's a pretty good idea. Are there many that use them in the Mournes?

Looks like a good time was had, a bit confused about where you found a warm building with a handy sleeping shelf on the Mourne Mountains, but I'm sure explanations will follow. Thanks for posting the pics!

We had a great night.  A beautiful clear sky full of stars.  Little wind so the smoke from the fire went straight up.  It didn't reach the low temperatures I expected and the thermal layers I brought stayed in the rucksack.  The fire and lack of wind chill helped with that.  I recorded a better nights' sleep than many's a time up the hills, if a bit of a late one.

We had a mix of bivvyers, tenters and even a 'hard top' option as you saw in the photo.

Great craic lads, cheers.

The nearby weather station at Katesbridge reported an overnight air min of -3.9 and a grass/bivvy level minimum of -6.5  :o but without the wind it was bearable, well it was for those of us in "tents", not sure if the bivviers have thawed out yet  ;D

That is my deluxe  ::) camper van conversion, this is only version 1, quickly assembled yesterday morning. Its a freestanding bunk bed type device that I can slide in and out of the van as required (if I put it outside would that count as a bivvy  ??? ). A few modifications are required though, like that plank in the middle making it very tricky to get out of  >:( .
