Great pics. The Mournes look awesome at this time of year, I can't wait to get up for a play in the snow!

Thanks guys. Does the snow usually stay on the higher areas of the mournes for a while now? Or will it all disappear  if it gets a days rain? I am aiming to get back again over xmas if not before. I'm new to the mournes this year so yesterday was a first for me seeing snow up there.

depends how cold it stays, if if warms up a bit some rain would see it go, but if it stays cold then it can hang around for a while? If been up there at easter when its been snowing? Im of the opinion that we will be getting some heavier stuff before the end of the year!

No bother. I'm hoping to get back up before xmas and i have plenty of free time in January and February before things get busy at work again so would like to get back for a few more days then. The snow makes it all look very special.

That first pic is a cracker! My browser window has cropped a tiny bit off the right (unless I scroll) but it is actually the perfect crop.
Lovely

I actually quite like the second picture the best! Have bad memories of trying to get as high up the mountain as possiable before sunrise for first picture!
