Title: Meelmore Lodge to Bloody Bridge 06.01.18
Post by: specimanYak on January 13, 2018
A trek from Meelmore Lodge to Bloody Bridge across the Mourne Mountains taking in the views from the Brandy Pad, Devil's Coachroad and Donard Saddle on 6th January 2018 with Glenn and Heggs. Great way to start the year.

Nice one. You don't happen to have the route mapped by any chance?

Great video mate, when do you think the royalties will be coming through the for me and Glenn? 😆
It was a great day out though, really enjoyed it. Thanks for posting.

I have the route on Google maps, I'll post a pic of it soon.

Yeah it was a great day out a nice way to kick off the new year. I see you forgot to put in the alternative route where the two oldies had to skirt around Donard rather than up and over.  ;)

Cool one guys.  Looks like a fantastic day was had.  What sorcery produces such photos?  I take you are carrying a camera of note, is the set up still relatively compact?

Phone camera for me mate and I think Heggs was the same, it's not the tools it's the journey man using them  ::)

I'm up for a camp in Feb if anyone fancies it. Camping at the weekend with one of my kids as a birthday treat (she requested.....I jumped up and down  ;D)
Yeah, same here about the pics. Just the phone and a quick colour adjustment after so they don't look washed out as they sometimes do.

Awesome guys, great video and great pics. Looks like you got some tremendous weather, tho I'd imagine it was somewhat chilly  8)
