The Slieve Doan Summit: They forgot food, I brought a potato

Описание: I got up at 5 AM for a sunrise summit, but the real challenge was cooking a baked potato while my starving friends watched... 🏔️🥔

This is the 10/01/2026 recovery mission, serving as the direct follow-up to the near-disaster at Fairhead. While the "Search Party" technically began on the North Coast cliffs, this Slieve Doan trek is where the narrative first hit the channel. It’s the aftermath of gear failures and lessons learned, proving that even a "standard" sunrise hike in the Mournes can turn into a battle for survival—or at least a battle for the last bit of butter. 🛡️
