Myself and Whorya did the 7 7's earlier and man oh man the legs are weary! Well done to Liam for diverting himself to get involved in a rescue.

I thought they were all discussing a training exercise around a map... couldn't see the victim for all the MRT guys who made it to the scene! Only realised when I heard the helicopter. Liam showed me the photos at the end, I'm sure he'll put a few up!

Well done everyone, that's a hard day out no matter what way you tackle it. Wouldn't be like us to complain at the sun coming out, but it didn't help the dehydration! I feel beat up. Took me an hour and a half to get composed enough to drive home. Strava reckons I burnt over 5700kcal so I'm about to spend the evening redressing the balance  ;D

Fair play to you... Well done... Definately tackling it next year as a "walker" then running as much of it as possible for a ridiculous finishing time  ::)

If you're thinking... "wait this might be a bit dangerous".... you're probably on the way to a good adventure!

what a day!!!!!!!

5 mountains, then a helicopter rescue, then abandoned the 7 7s and got the land rover back to donard park, hung about for couple of hours to see whorya & rumblybum finish, then a lovely pint in o'hares with them, then another callout, missing 7 7s competitor, so back up the hills again for a search in fading light (i did ott track to ben crom dam) the missing person turned up, didn't get home til after midnight, so a very late dinner, and worst of all, the offies were closed  >:(

carlsberg don't do days in the mournes, but if they did .........



and the pics


the view of the mournes from Clough this morning, enveloped in cloud

then met Craig at the finish who had done a superb sub 6 hour run  :o



and finally a well earned pint   ;D

Man I am wrecked, poured myself a beer last night and couldn't finish it...had to go to bed.  That was a hard walk, it definately got a bit tougher when they sun was beating down.  But we could take the odd moment or two to pause to gaze at the scenery ;)  Not much left in the tank at the end of the walk, I don't reckon I had much more to give.  A wee bit of a navigational blooper added 15-20 minutes but otherwise we kept moving for the most part.

Huge credit goes out to Liam for giving up his day to do his duty for the MR guys, I'm sure the casualty was greatly assured by the arrival of Liam on the scene.  And then to top it off Liam had to supp up and do it all again.  I couldn't think of anything worse at that time then heading up into the hills again.
