Great news    If you're up before us try and bag one of the pre-existing fire circles, whichever one has the most space around it for a crowd of people and tents. I'll PM you my mobile number.

Hi Red,

Still planning to join you guys. It'll be teatime before I get there, airshow traffic permitting. Keep me a berth?

[RedLeader]

Of course, we'll reserve you the penthouse suite

The weather looks great which might for once not be top news, Torp says the midges are plentiful which might be annoying. The weather is for the wind to rise later, hopefully that will drive them away.

I'm aiming to be at Newcastle around 1130 and up at the site shortly after. The airshow is due to start at 3pm.
One thing to note, I can't for the life of me find the pirate flag but I'm sure we'll be fairly unmissable

Hi Gang!

I was away in Donegal last weekend and used my pass up, so sadly il not be able to join you on this one.

Looking out the window though, it looks like it's gonna be crackin evening and hope you all have a great time!

Enjoy the sore heads tomorrow suckers!

Here's a few more photos.  Another great camp... right up until the point were I got washed down the river while trying to rinse toasted marshmallow residue off my hands 

I'm pretty sure the embarrassing photos will follow shortly

Another brilliant camp, can't believe we got such great weather but a nice enough breeze to keep the midges at bay. Has been a while since I've been up there, it really is a lovely spot and nice dander.

DANDER you kidding nearly killed me lol

[RedLeader]

Yeah, it's a taxing enough hike, especially with a load of gear  . Still, nice to get up somewhere different.

Looked like a great camp folks, really getting me in the mood to get out again

[torp]

Was nice to meet you and the others on Sunday morning Torp.
Sorry I missed the rest of you, glad to hear you had a great camp.
