Lough Shannagh Wild Camp in the Mourne Mountains

Been up the Mourne Mountains again for another wild camp. Decided to head to head to the largest man-made body of water in the mountains called Lough Shannagh. From the carpark, it was an 8.3k hike to get there with a full backpack. The visibility I had was so very bad and the fog was very low the whole time, I could barely see 20 meters in front of me and the terrian was boggy and slippy. If I never had OS maps on my phone, I'd have got lost 100%.
Im seeing the weather is going to be much better in a few days and I plan to head back to this spot but the other side of the lough where there's a small beach or heading to a summit that is close by. Im going to check out both when im there and pick the best.
