I phone to the rescue!

What was the trail like guys?  Could you do it on a bike?

[Matthew]

Certain sections could be completed on bike though it would be difficult at points.

[MG1]

Do you it would be dangerous in places or just a slog?

[Matthew]

Just a hard way to do it I think. Some of the inclines could be miserable on a bike.

I reckon it would be a fun day out! The start would be fine up into tullymore and round that area, once you hit Ott (at least I think it was ott!) it'd be a bit of a slog, getting round hen would be difficult and then there is a bit of a valley down to the start of the forest. Once you hit rostrevor it'd be plain sailing. If I was to do it again I'd quite like to have a bike stashed at the rostrevor leg and cycle that (mile after mile of hard packed forest path with a rucksack and boots takes its toll on the balls of your feet!) and then cycle back along the coast (22miles).

I put a trip review of the Mourne Way up here - http://www.ni-wild.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=1488.0

It's quite long so I'd advise pouring a brew before reading   Oh, and if anyone has any photos from the weekend that I can add to the review it would be greatly appreciated!
