Mourne Mountain Marathon 2014 – Part 2
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
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

Donard Via Glen River GoPro Video
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. […]
Mourne Way Marathon
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. […]
Slieve Binnian – Summit Camp
A few weeks ago I headed to attempt on summit camp on Slieve Binnian. Having planned the same on a few previous occasions only for the weather to conspire against me, I was determined to achieve it this time. However with forecasts of wind speeds up to 35mph and gusts of even higher it was […]
Slieve Bernagh Summit Camp
Just back from my first overnight trip to the Mournes. I was very impressed by the extent of wild camping / bivi options on the high tops. My three friends opted to sleep under the shelter stone near the smaller NE tor of Slieve Bernagh. It was a bit tight for 4 and I wasn’t […]
Slieve Lamagan Summit Camp
The last couple of years have been very lazy. My plans for all sorts of exciting camps and hikes have mostly been substituted with lazy nights around the fire cooking legs of lamb and swinging gently in hammocks. I was determined that 2014 would be a bit more adventurous and the Bullseye Bivvy Mark 2 […]
Bearnagh,Meelmore & Meelbeg

Bann’s Road Circular Route
Just before Christmas a friend and I set ourselves a new route some of it covering ground we had yet to set foot on. Setting off from the car park at the end of Bann’s Road on a chilly winter’s day our circular route had Bann’s Road as the centre point. I just had my […]
