The TFK Hiking Thread

@PhattPike

The mountains in Ireland are all very accessible. You could tip away up the likes of Brandon in a pair of shorts and suddenly be in heaps of trouble at the top lost on a featureless bog in a heavy mist.

Sounds a bit dramatic

[Corksfinedtboy]

True though

[Batigol]

I’ve seen the offending video (@PhattPike disgracefully shared it via a WhatsApp group) and one thing that struck me was: why didn’t the ladies try to walk back down the hill? That bit of Donard isn’t especially steep and the Mourne wall would have lead them down

[myboyblue]

Their vision was blurred mate, they could barely press the post button on Instagram

[TheUlteriorMotive]

They photographed and videoed the rescue and all.

I’m not getting into victim blaming though.

[Batigol]

Yeah. “Rescue vibes” were had at the end, thankfully

[myboyblue]

All the lads got was an auld ‘THX’

[PhattPike]

Your disappointment was PALPABLE on the chat when I mentioned I didn’t have the video of them in their underwear.

@Batigol

As I said myself on the chat when making this very point that you’ve made your own here on TFK - Donard ain’t exactly K2.

There’s a whiff of middle class Protestants off that. I’d say they are Alliance voters.

[caulifloweredneanderthal]

That’s what I said to you bout the wall alright

@habanerocat

I’d never eaten cheese before

[flattythehurdler]

Hikeix.
Hicks for short.

[TreatyStones]

Possibly one of the most bizzare statements ever on here and flew completely under the radar

[backinatracksuit]

I don’t recall having real cheese as a young fella, we only ever had the blocks of galtee processed cheese

[gilgamboa]

That’s still cheese though. I’d say I made myself cheese on toast after school pretty much every day for 10 years

[TreatyStones]

Picnic ham and easi singles in the old style toasted sandwich maker. Unreal.

With a slice of a tomato to scald the face off you. Great times.

[caulifloweredneanderthal]

For some reason, as a young lad, I went off ham for a while. But I didn’t tell the mother. So she kept sending me off with ham sandwiches to school that I didn’t eat. I’d bring them home and start hiding them in a drawer in my room. When nobody was around, I’d get a collection of them and fuck them into the neighbour’s field. The game was up when the waft of several mouldy stale sandwiches from my room started to spread around the house.

[caulifloweredneanderthal]

Jesus, hope she’s found ok but not looking good.

Visibility was shite yesterday mate. The French lad wouldn’t listen to me and wanted to try a new stretch out to a small enough summit (maybe 500m) called Carnavaddy. We didn’t see it til we were right up to it and were thankful we saw some walkers up ahead of us at that stage. We knew we were in general direction but could have ended up pissing about for longer up there.
