Hello,

Brilliant set up you folks have here .... Mournesman recommended it to me and I'm just having a look now.

I'm Rusty Madra (James) from Belfast. Main interests are Hiking, Geocaching, outdoor swimming, Running (badly) and martial arts.

I started discovering the Mournes and having got the taste for it was looking to improve my outdoor skills and maybe learn a few more. Looking at starting surfing here in the summer and thinking about climbing / rope work.

Training at the moment with the Pen-Y-Fan event in the Breacon Becons in mind  ??? Using the Mournes to train between moments of self-doubt about the event lol!

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

Welcome Rusty. I too am from Belfast. Lived in town for years until I bogged off eastward for cheaper rent.

I enjoy getting down to the mournes too myself, got the cavehill trail + estate trail to keep me ticking over though on the weeks I don't get down.

Good to have John keeping you right - glad to have you onboard mate.
