Donegal is top of my list of places to visit outside of the Mournes. It's only a 2 hour drive from Belfast and it looks wonderfully wild.

Its a wonderful spot, clean, deserted beaches, rugged mountains and virtually deserted walking trails http://www.irishtrails.ie/trail.aspx?id=6 I am definitely going to get a trip organised at some stage, as camping wouldnt be a problem, and theres always plenty of turf for the campfire as the relatives have their own turf bog! lol
