A quick one nighter down Wicklow way

Post by Flintlock »

Got a pass for a quick overnight trip. Had intended to head for a bit of wild camping in West Donegal, however the weather was not good, so a quick look to see where there was a better chance of good weather and Wicklow was chosen.
A dash down the A1, M1, M50 and unto the R115, soon found us riding through the Wicklow mountains

Nice one Flintlock, good to see you using that new bike. Now how about getting a tent you can actually stretch out and sit up in? Plenty of room in those panniers. Go on treat yerself!

Funny you should say that Steve ' got more than my fair share of stick (again) about my tent (not a bivvy) at the campsite.

Pity Heff was not there -he could have taken some of the stick flack away from me :whistle:
