Slieve Binnian Village Hike
s
From word of mouth I was aware that there were structures of some sort on the Annalong Valley slopes of Slieve Binnian but I had never seen any solid information describing them. Still, the thought of people erecting buildings on the side of a mountain intrigued me and I reckoned it warranted some investigation. From the […]
Meelmore Solo Overnighter
s
Over the weekend I had a small solo camp on the summit of Meelmore. I usually can only go camping when the car is packed with luxuries for the other half, but with things and the way it worked out, I was able to do a bit of proper camping 🙂 I paid for overnight […]
Mourne Mountain Marathon 2014 – Part 2
s
Continued from Part 1. Great result Claire, still don’t understand how you ended up Pigeon Rock though at least it was at the end of the day. I imagine a mistake like early on would really demoralise you and you certainley need all the morale you can get for this event. Great to meet up again […]
Mourne Mountain Marathon 2014 – Part 1
s
Entered the C class with paddyman, as we hadn’t met before it seemed like a sensible decision. Great weather and pack was at 9kg with 1.5l of water and food (hip flask too). Paddyman is machine and we went great on day one but made a blip on the last but one clue and went […]
Three days in the Mournes
s
My son and I travelled from Derry last weekend to enjoy three days of walking and camping through the heart of the high Mournes. The plan was to enjoy a few leisurely days in beautiful country, with plenty of time at camp to relax with hot chocolate :D. Day 1. Meelmore Lodge to Lough Shannagh […]
Donard Via Glen River GoPro Video
s
I bought a GoPro to take to Kilimanjaro with me. I had never used one before in my life so I decided to try it out yesterday on the most popular route in the Mournes; Slieve Donard via Glen River. I was trying to avoid filming other people at the saddle and at the summit. […]
Garron Plateau and Galboly village
s
Last year I had a walk up around the Garron Plateau and was really struck with the area. As I sat eating lunch whilst enjoying the scenery I vowed to return some time and spend a bit longer. On that previous occasion I only got the briefest of glimpses of the ‘hidden’ village of Galboly […]
High Tech Charging to Avoid
s
Saw this item today in Maplin when out http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/brunton-hydrogen-reactor-portable-powerbank-n39dt. It was sheer chance I spotted it as they had it sat next to an unboxed biolite stove and I was nosing at that stunned and just how huge and horrid a thing it was for the purpose (glad I didn’t jump on that wagon when […]
Mourne Way Marathon
s
By ClaireBear In January this year I decided that this would be the marathon year, not a road one as my body is wrecked so this seemed like the obvious choice. I entered the 10km last year and loved it, the route was nice, great run through kilbroney and the sun was splitting the trees. […]
