Camp begun on Monday so it was well on its way when I arrived Saturday. The group was just about to leave for a hike when I arrived, so I dumped my stuff in a tent, quickly changed into hiking gear and within 10 minutes of arrival, joined the 5 & 1/2 hour trek through the Mourne Mountains.
Why did I go on the hike instead of take a nap you ask? This:
Such beautiful scenery!
Mom won't approve of me sharing this part of the story, but I thought it was funny enough to share (and remember).... I was on a hike with boys (as it was Boys camp) and mother nature called (very loudly). When the boys stopped for a break I ran in front and answered mother nature.... as well as snapped this gorgeous photo :-)
The hike up to the half-way point, Hare's Gap
The view from Hare's Gap
Ever so slightly windy at the top!
Wind made taking photos a bit difficult!

I enjoyed coming along with you on the hike to Hare's Gap (even though you had to tell us about...);-)
Love you, Mom
