The Lanshan 2 lives on!! Thank god you had your woolly hat and warm jacket with you! What a fab sunset you got..a right aul techno colour light show 💥 It looked a lovely route Alyn 🤗
@@MiriamKennedy that wee tent rocks, Miriam. Up Lanshan! Ha ha ha. I had never walked that way before but loads of folk had told me it was beautiful. The views from there are stunning.
Hi Alyn. A blustery night !! but what a sunset you had, and well captured on camera. Its definitely a time for gloves when the windchill kicks in. Nice one. All the best👍
@@Andrew......... Thanks Andrew. Yeah it was a spectacular sunset. Great vantage point up there too but bitterly cold. Could have done with my gloves...hat and scarf!!!
Alyn, definitely the best way to get to the summit of Slieve Commedagh (especially if there is some snow❄) and it is a tight pull alright😊 I think the wind is the greatest foe of the wild camper and the greatest ally when the midges are about😊 It does definitely swirl about at height so good shelter can be hard to sustain. A stunning sunset with those vibrant colours captured by the clouds👍 A lovely wee adventure, even if the weather was somewhat rough (though obviously the chocolate and whiskey helped). Always cool to be walking down in the morning after a night out - when others are just heading in👍
@@gerrymcveigh So right Gerry! It was an amazing walk up and tbh I really enjoyed the night at the top (whiskey and chocolate always help!) Its really blowy up there. I've noticed before but didn't realise it was so sustained. I'll def be back here it was so good.
@@Hikingjoe383 Thanks so much. Im really chuffed you enjoyed it. Was a great walk and the weather made it so much more fun. Sometimes the weather is the best bit about walkin the mountains! Ha ha ha
Wow Alyn! What a sunset 😍 That route up Commedagh was the first time I ever walked in The Mournes. The climb up Slievenamaddy nearly killed me, definitely put manners on me that day 🤣
Great video. You’re very easy to listen to! What more do you need on a wild camp than a bit of chocolate, whisky, a decent tent and a stunning sunset 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 shame about the wind but that’s Mountains for you ay 😂 never a dull moment! Look forward to watching some more vids. Liked & subscribed 👌🏼⛰️
@@Hiking.and.mountains thanks so much. So glad you enjoyed it. The chocolate and whiskey are essential additions to my kit list just above first aid and maps. Ha ha ha
@@Hiking.and.mountains awesome! Look, tbh its my only tent but I have watched friends review theirs and have concluded the Lanshan is a pretty robust, economical and flexible tent. The two gives way more space which i find useful when you have camera equipment etc.
@@walkwatchers yea i've heard good things about it. I'm trying to get the weight of my bag down after my recent wild camp. I always have trekking poles, so it makes sense to look into using a lightweight trekking pole tent ! Did you have to seam seal it?
@@Hiking.and.mountains the Lanshan will def bring your weight down for sure. Havent needed to seam seal it yet but bought seam sealer at the time just in case. I have seen other creators who did it when they bought it but I've been ok so far and im using mine over a year now
@@camperlists7090 There are some beautiful views over Newcastle and the sea from Slieve Commedagh. Well worth the visit and even nicer to wake up to (when there is no cloud!)

That looked like a lovely camp, a little blustery but the lanshan served you well. That sky was stunning. Cheers for taking the camera along 🍀
@@RamblingOn it was a great night out Jason and that walk up is really popular but I had never walked it. It was brilliant.

Nice video, some evening sky captured, amazing.
@@patrickobrien8902 Such a brilliant walk. Cant beat a warm summer walk and a night in the tent

Great we adventure. I’d a similar day back in June. Nice warm day until the wind kicked up then the winter gear came out.
