Ive been dying to do this route for ages...gets the thighs pumping a bit and clears the mind. The weather forecast was grim but luckily enough the few square miles i was to cover didnt look to bad..windy but dry.
This is a few hundred yards along the Bloody River Path looking towards Crossone and Slieve Donard behind .
A rocky bouldery path crosses the river a couple of times where the ground became very hard on ankles and thighs. >_<
an old disused quarry looked a set from a "Scoobydoo" movie
The Mourne Wall which is about 8ft high built of dry stone leads up-summit cloudwards !
My route skywards
Halyway up and over the Wall to Slievenabrock and Slieve Commedagh
Finally the Cairn on the summit at almost 1000ft amoungst 75mph clouds !
Sat for a while waiting for cloudbreaks to take in the best views in Ireland...it didnt happen :lol: All i could think of now was how do i deflate my thighs again and stop my heart from ceasing
Ill post the Descent pictures later as they havent loaded yet....some crackers too and a small video to show the speed of the clouds winging past !
