Meelmore to Beg in the snow

Some snaps from my quick trip on Saturday:

Out from Meelmore Lodge (after a quick chat with the passing Liam), up the green line to the stile.



Left at the wall towards Slievenaglogh.



Snow starting to melt (or never settled) down in the Valley



Dropped down before Commedagh


Avoiding the half buried streams, you can hear them but can't always see them....



Over the Beg, quick look down the Devils Coachroad (nope, nope, nopeing all the away back from the edge),



then lunch on top looking down the Annalong valley



Then back along the Brandy pad with the wind picking up (dog's ears are not normally upright)



Sky starting to cloud over


Finally through Hares Gap down and along the surprisingly slippy Trasey Track just as it started getting dark.

(more)

FIN.

Good to see you again Chuck, glad I didn't join you for your walk as my knee started giving me gip on the way down Slievenamuck, fortunately I was only 10 mins from the car park, wouldn't have liked that to have happened deeper in the Mournes!

A couple of pics from Slievenamuck towards Spelga reservoir







and a view of Bearnagh & Meelmore on the way home

think outside, no box required

Brilliant pics. Great to see some snow about, hopefully over Xmas we'll see a bit more snow than rain.

Very jealous, great to see the snow.
