Random Bivi Hares Gap

Our big plan to go biving on Monday started with an epic walk before hand, a clear night and a lot more people involved... of course when it got to Wednesday night, things change.

The weather was beautiful (Drizzly rain and not a star in sight), perfect! But that wasn’t stopping Caoimhe, Kathryn and Michael (Tagging along with his manbag), mega keen we would not give into the weather and everyone saying we were nuts.

Finally leaving the centre at half 11!  We took a stroll up to Hares Gap to sleep beside the great Mourne wall.... The walk consisted of lots of laughs and 100 of sheep eyes following us. Kathryn watching what lies beneath a few nights before didn’t help and Caoimhe talking about Zombie sheep....

We were glad to finally make it to the Mourne wall, to get into our sleeping bags and out of our wet gear.

We awoke at 7am to Kathryn letting in all the rain from her Bivi bag that had collected over the night... so a casual lie in was not on the cards with the amount of complaining and blood shoot eyes from a great night 's sleep.

We had marshmallows in chocolate biscuits for breakfast cooked over a stove and a bag of salt and vinegar crisps... the midnight snack didn’t really go to plan.

After all the negative comments about us going on our mega adventure to bivi, we had a ball and lots of laughs.. thats what it's all about :)

Who said a bivi was a bad idea?
