| Cleevaun lough, Co Wicklow |
Having bought a lightweight sleeping bag I thought I would try an overnight lone camp. Ali deposited me at the top of the pass above Lacken at 7pm and I hiked from there to Cleevaun lough (barefoot, with Meg). The bag wasn't thick enough - I was cold in spite of wearing everything. This is what the lough looked like the morning after.

Sleeping fitfully I awoke the last time at about 06:00 but stayed in the tent until 07:30, then did a short walk to try to warm up (unsuccessful), then had breakfast (dry granola shared with Meg) then uncamped and set out.

I got a bit lost in the morning mist, hence the loop above. Thing is the lough is further around Mullacleevaun than I think, so on the way back in the mist I went further than I thought and...

| Descent via the moss-forest |
After the forest about 6 miles of road walking. My feet were rather sore when I got back, now treated with pink ointment.
