Here's my edit from a short hike up the Mourne Mountains a few weeks back. I love getting up into the mountains and definitely don't do it enough. The Mournes are so accessible for me but with two you kids and a obsession with cycling and surfing it's hard to justify another whole day away from my family walking in the mountains. This was a decent walk, we parked at Meelmore bridge and took on two of the peaks including Slieve Commedagh, before hiking down from the saddle of Slieve Donard. We had two cars, so one car parked in each location meant we didn't have to hike back on ourselves. Off course we made time for a quick coffee stop at the top to take in the view... More hiking, more camping... get those kids walking...thats the 2017 goal.
