On Monday we climbed Slieve Bearnagh before camping at the head of Ben Crom Reservoir. On Tuesday we climbed Slieve Commedagh. Some of you may have seen the Ben Crom image on […]

Still hilly after all these years…
So, on Easter Monday I kept a promise to myself and my daughter home from university, and climbed into the Mournes for the first time in more than thirty years. We clambered up to the Hares Gap, and once we saw that that hadn’t killed us, we swung down to the edge of Ben Crom […]

Hunting for Hares
No not the fluffy kind from a Potter book, but more of the access kind. I have been told before that there is a way from the bottom of the cliff to the top of Binevenagh without having to go around either side, the the purveyor of this tall tale informed me that a route […]
White and windy – Slievenaglogh Summit Camp
Keen to get out and enjoy the white stuff, last weekend I took myself off on a solo summit camp. Starting from Meelmore Lodge I headed off towards my planned destination of Slievenaglogh. With a fair coverage of snow on the ground I played it safe following the wall until it met the Trassey Track. […]
