RAD ABOUT CHE'S !
 I ONLY HAVE ONE QUESTION........................ Why is the devil's coach road CALLED the devil's coach road? I can't find any information online about this and I haven't a clue what books I could possibly look in. If you want to list any good books on Mourne folk lore please do - I love that stuff  Thanks, Andy. |

there is too much of the land in private hands if you ask me. would be nice to have a sweden style right to roam
there was a bbc article about it recently but i can't find it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_to_roam as long as you are responsible you can walk anywhere in the nordic countries |

Congratulations! It is a great achievement!
I actually didn't do it. Because we had already done it earlier in the year (and The Mourne Wall also) we decided we didn't want to face the weather. Looking back now of course I wish I had went! |

Well that’s the Seven Sevens done. On Friday I have never checked the weather so often and it was changing all the time. At tea time we decided that due to the thunder and lighting we would play it safe and not take part. Then another check of the weather and it was improving. Rucksack was packed and alarm set for 4.30am
Signed on at 6.30am and we where off at 7am in the rain. Straight up the Glen river and up Donard in a record time for me. Up Commedagh then down onto the Brandy pad and the rain had now stopped. Quick bite to eat at Hares Gap and it was up Bearnagh as usual it was a slow hard slog. Legs started to feel it on Meelmore and Meelbeg but we were making good time. Straight of the side of Meelbeg and across the bog to Ben Crom. Thankfully it was not as bad as I expected it to be. We made the Ben Crom check point at 1.45pm 45mins before the 2.30pm cut off. It was then straight up Binnian and legs were now really feeling it and the pace was a slow plod. On the descent I was having pain in my left knee which slowed things big time. Then onto Lamagan and it saved a special sort of kicking for me in the way only Lamagan can. It was then a slow plod back to Newcastle in the heavy rain finishing just before 9pm. We had done it! after may years of talking about It. Great event and very well run. Lots of lessons learned for next year!!!! |
