Does anyone know if this bus only goes one way? I'd love to use it as a gateway to get into the hills from Carrick Little to save parking the car there but it would be quite a trip having to circle the entire Mournes first.

I'm sure they would be.  I've met a bus driver who was walking in the hills, took his dog on a bus from Newcastle to Belfast with no troubles. 


I'd be interested to know about that £20 deal they have going (read it in the Mourne Observer) for unlimited travel at the weekends.  Is this throughout a period of time, or one weekend only?

The only downside to going outdoors is having to come back inside.
