Out n About Walk*

 

Sunday, 27th April

 

The next walk takes place on this date, so put a note in your diary if you are interested. Neil has provided us with the following details:

 

DATE : Sunday 27th April
MEETING TIME: We will leave at 10:30 am sharp.  We cannot afford to hang around so be on time.
MEETING LOCATION: Parliament car park.
STARTING LOCATION: Leitrim Lodge Picnic Area (22456)
WALK DISTANCE: 8 miles
TERRAIN: Forest and rugged hills.  The walks begins on a forest path, but we soon get off the beaten track. Some parts are very very boggy - so you will get your boots wet and muddy!!
DIFFICULTY: Moderate/Difficult
EQUIPMENT: Walking boots are required.  Water proofs and warm clothes should be bought as the weather can change very quickly.  You should also bring a packed lunch and water.
OTHER INFO:  On this occasion dogs should NOT be brought along.  At the beginning of the walk there is a big sign saying "NO DOGS BEYOND THIS POINT".  There are lots of sheep along the path and in the general area of the walk. As usual, when sharing cars the passengers are expected to contribute towards the fuel costs.

WALK DESCRIPTION (The Mournes Walks - Paddy Dillon)


"There are some interesting little walks around Leitrim and at the top of Kilbroney Valley.  The Ulster way passes through these hills, but generally stays quite low.  It is of course followed through attractive stands of pines into denser forest, then... to follow tracks high on the slopes of Tievedockaragh. After crossing Batt's Wall the route remains high to pass interesting rocky tors at Pierce's Castle and Tornamrock, followed by an ascent of the domed Rocky Mountain.  The circuit is accomplished in the shadow of the higher mountains such as Eagle Mountain and Shanlieve..."
