Great to see your out again, cracker wee video and good to see it was clear on the summit as those were heavy looking skies when you were setting off.

Thanks for sharing this. I haven't been to the Mournes since February and I'm starting to forget what they looked like. Thanks Fred....I hadn't been up since July 2019. Too long! It was so good to up again. Thanks |

Hey there guys
Was just wondering does anyone know if the silent Valley has reopened again? I have looked online but can't find much information other than that it was closed. The last information was may time, I have a few hours free on Wednesday and fancied heading up there for a run. Thanks |

There were issues at the weekend around Trassey and Meelmore with cars blocking roads and PSNI had to shut the road. Although I had friends went up Sunday after and parked in Donard car park with no issue. I think there are hot spots. I'm not sure when I will have a go try to go but friends have been out in Mournes 2 -3 times already in the past week or so.

There was something put on social media by the police saying about large crowds at the Head Road, I presume this referred to a large amount of people using Carrick Little as a starting point. Personally I'd head for avoid the usual larger car parks and take the time exploring Eagle, Shanlieve, Tievedockaragh and all around the western Mournes. There will be hardly anyone there I would imagine. Slievemeel, Slievemartin, starting at Knockshee is a nice part also.
I went out last week but just opted for the Antrim Hills, always better after a dry spell! |

This is from BBC News NI
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-52721480 How far can I travel to take exercise or meet friends outdoors? There are "no restrictions" on travel for those who are not self-isolating, Deputy First Minister Michelle O'Neill has said. That means in all the instances where people are now permitted to leave home, there is no limit on the distance they can travel. This is different from eased lockdown measures in the Republic of Ireland, where there is a 5km (3.1-mile) limit for those travelling to exercise. While most people have followed government advice to only exercise once a day, that has never been included in regional coronavirus legislation. |
