    Alyn, tonight was the night and those Autumnal colours are glorious in the Mournes👍 Loved that sharply defined layer of cloud ending in bright sunshine☀ away to the south and west. The light hitting the plumage of the raven and the tors on Binnian was cool, as was the rainbow🌈 Not having a breath of wind up there is something to be savoured👍 even for a time😊 No good camp would be complete without the weather causing problems. Good that the head cleared even if the mist didn't👍

      @@gerrymcveigh It was a special one, Gerry! How many times have I walked that mountain but never thought to stay over. It was fantastic and so peaceful at sunset. The sun caught all the formations on the top and for a while the whole place was on fire. Was so much fun!!!!

    Mighty Alyn, I don’t think I’ve heard Slieve Binnian so quite and what wonderful colours hitting the tors. I’ve never thought about the clouds pushing under the tent, I’ve learnt something new today. I’d say never trust the forecast.

      Thanks Geoff. Yup, I'll be havin' a word with Barra. Lol. It was like a smoke machine at one point when the wind was at it's strongest. I just hadn't thought to lower my fly sheet to the ground (didn't think there would be any wind!) so it came under the gap and condensed on the net inner! Mad but fun. Glad you enjoyed the video

      Aw thanks so much Natalie. It never feels 'calm' when I'm out there with a camera. Much calmer without it. lol. But It was an amazing night and even the cloud and the gold light in the morning just made it really special. Still lovin' your content. Keep 'er lit!

      Thanks Ashley. The chocolate (and the whiskey) make everything better! It was a brilliant night up there. I don't know why I hadn't thought to do it before. Was inspired by Adrian's video and so pleased I followed through.

      @@BestlifeWildCampingOutdoors Exactly why I walked it! I have been up so many times and when I saw Adrian camping on it I thought, "How have I not done this!?". Its a great place to camp but difficult to pitch with all the rock also can be quite exposed! But its always good for the views. Glad you enjoyed it.

      Well thank you for the inspiration Adrian!!! Binnian is brilliant and never disappoints but camping up there was a whole other level. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, maybe we'll get a wee collab sometime.

      @walkwatchers If you get a chance in the new year try camping there again. The Frosty mornings up there are brilliant good sunrise and cloud inversion.
      Yes that sounds good to me 👍

    Some great shots showing Binnian at it's moody best, it's a great mountain to hike and even better to wake up on.
    Last time I stayed I watched the cloud gently blowing off the next morning and two Peregrine Falcons surveying the mountain for breakfast, what more could you ask for?
