Had to bail once from hares gap after 4 hours of rain and every path turned into a river , the m8s tent got flooded in a matter of minutes . It’s all experience and you learn from it . I have learned the Mournes can eat you up and spit you out in a moments notice . Glad you made it back safe 👍
Morning mate, that looked lovely at hares gap, a real winter wonderland. But looked real sketchy coming down in the dark. I’m not sure how I’d react if that happened, I think I’d try to hunker down for the night but like you say gear can get ruined. Good idea with the walkie talkies 👍
@@GeoffGreenawayOutdoors yea tbh I think if me and my brother had stronger pitch we def would have hunkered down.. night navigation in the mournes isn’t the easiest especially when the snow covers the trials lol
You need to get one of the portable fires to bring with you.

@@adventurousdavee the mournes def unpredictable at times lol as soon as we started walking the rain just poured was a very wet drive home lol
Looked a good camp. Pity but a good call you decided to bail. I did have a good laugh at “I can’t see shit” 😂
@@thomasshafe Thank you .. yea was a good camp just not the ending I wanted lol .. visibility was terrible couldnt see a thing 🤣

@ no I wouldn’t fancy coming down in the dark at the best of times never mind in them conditions. At least every down safe and sound mate.
coming down looked rough, but the mournes look so different with a snow blanket.
@@RavenRedcrow we certainly learnt from this experience lol
