In the Mournes with the Bannside Ramblers!
Posted by Glenn
We had another great day walking in the Mourne Mountains, on the 5th April, with the Bannside Ramblers.
Here are a few shots from what turned out to be a day with fantastic weather, and good company as well. We made exceptionally good time travelling down, and we had the rare opportunity of a café, to start the days walking from.
Great Start!
We commenced our walk from Meelmore Lodge, and their café was open when we arrived. Having 45 minutes before the walk was due to start, we didn’t need much encouragement to try out the local cuisine!
Verdict….Excellent start to the day, with real coffee, and a very tasty sausage & egg buttie!
As you can see, we had great weather, with dramatic clouds never far away, leaving you with the knowledge that conditions could change rapidly…reason enough to be prepared for the worst conditions.
The views were fantastic, can you spot James and Kenny waving?
What do you think of this Landrover Jed?
This belonged to the Mourne Mountain Rescue Team! Thankfully we didn’t require their services!
God willing, my next walk in the Mournes will be on May Day, where I will be supporting my companions for Kilimanjaro, as they raise money for the BCFC Academy, in Kitale, Kenya. Details can be found here, if you wish to join us!
It is a great way to spend the day!

Got something to say?
Your neck of the woods sure is stark and stunning. Looks like you had good weather for some great pics. Makes me want to toss the little one in the back-pack baby-carrier and head out into the Cascade mountains – once the snow melts.

Welcome Kevin, and wow…I just googled “Cascade Mountains” and they look fantastic!
Plenty of photo opportunities there!
