Took in some great views below the summit section though....anyone want to let us know about their outdoor activities this bank holiday weekend 🥾🥾🌫🧭🗺⛰️

Took in Mullaghcleevaun over the weekend...once again with misty views from the summit, and met members of Scouting Ireland along the way, they were hosting an event for scouts from all over the country, with conditions providing a good opportunity for navigation training. For the scouts, youth is definitely not wasted on the young 🥾🥾🌫🧭🗺
