Blue Lough

Another perfect day for our walk to the Blue Lough.

Doan

Cedars Walkers enjoy the view over Lough Shannagh and Silent Valley.

Knockmany

Gordon led another great walk at Knockmany where the bluebells were at their best, calling at Knockmany Passage Tomb, the remains of a Neolithic passage tomb containing large stones decorated with rare megalithic art.

Rocky and Hares Castle

Mike's walk even included a spot of rock climbing!

Mullaghcarn

Mike and co returned to Mullaghcarn to meet the new kid on the block, a giant sculpture of Darach, the guardian of the Sperrins, by the renowned recycle artist and activist Thomas Dambo.

Eagle, Shanlieve and Finlieve

Slieve Loughshannagh and Ott

A walk of two halves - zero visibility and temporarily misplaced followed by spectacular views of the snow covered mountains.

Slievenaglogh

We came, we saw, we conquered

Dundrum

Mark and Peter stroll along Ardilea Road during our walk at Dundrum.

Doan

Herbie led a large group in perfect weather up the Ott Track and over Slieveloughshannagh to Doan.

Eagle

John O. led a tough but enjoyable walk from Leitrim Lodge to Shanlieve, Eagle and Wee Slievemoughan - 11Km and 600m ascent.

Blue Lough

Gordon and Ruth led another great walk from Carrick Little up to the Blue Lough.

Rocky and Hares Castle

Mike and co returned to an old favourite, Rocky and Hares Castle, with the obligatory walk along a section of the Mourne Wall. 10.6Km and 427m ascent.

Chimney Rock

Herbie led a great walk from Bloody Bridge

Spelga

Gary and team bag five peaks - Slievenamuck, Butter Mountain, Craigdoo, Spaltha and Spelga. Gusty weather didn't spoil a great walk - 6.9Km and 325m ascent.

Ballyhornan Coastal Path

Ruth, Reuben and Gordon led the walk along the atmospheric Ballyhornan Coastal Path in challenging conditions. There were lots of helpers on hand but the day ended with some very muddy trousers.

Pigeon Rock and Moughanmore

Starting at the cattle pen on Moyad Road, John O. and co. tried out a different route in familiar territory - the twin peaks of Pigeon Rock and Moughanmore. 8.8Km and 625m ascent. With skylarks and an over-familiar raven for company they discovered two badger sets during the walk.

Cock and Hen

Gary led a bevy of ladies from Hen Track up Cock Mountain to Slievenamiskan and Hen on 11 April 2024. A great day out was enjoyed by all.

Gosford

26 happy Cedars Walkers enjoyed Gosford Forest on 11 April 2024 - thanks to Lesley for the photograph.

Broadwater

Fifteen Cedars walkers turned up at Soldierstown car park and enjoyed a great walk along the Broadwater into Aghalee on another perfect day. The OutdoorActive app recorded a distance of 8.4Km and an ascent of 45m - something funny had been going on with the app, recording a large spike at the very start of the walk to give a false reading of height gained. This was easily corrected by cropping the first few metres off the route and, most importantly, it didn't spoil our enjoyment of the walk.

Meelmore

Herbie and friends enjoyed another perfect day out at Meelmore.
