Cedars Walkers pause briefly beside the Mourne Wall at Long Seefin after crossing Spence's River and nearly not getting lost in almost zero visibility on Chimney Rock Mountain which was hidden in low cloud.

Homeward bound. Heading back to Trassey car park after a great day out in the hills.

Skewered
Lukes Mountain

Hapless walk leader skewered as he attempts to get up from a seat which was lower than he had expected.

Mourne Park

Another perfect day for a short walk in Mourne Park with friends.

Kilfeaghan
Bromance

Bromance flourishes on another perfect day in the hills above Kilfeaghan.

Peatlands
Peatlands

A soggy, wet and windy (but much milder) day was enjoyed by some of Cedars Walkers at Peatlands. Welcome shelter was provided by a large Spruce which had stood firm during recent storms and mini frogs had a ball hopping in an out of the numerous puddles and sodden marsh land. The morning was finished off with a very welcome cuppa. Thanks go to leaders Gordon and John for the memorable experience

Black Mountain

Another perfect day for a walk on the Ridge Trail up to the summit of Black Mountain and, for a few hardy souls, a climb to the top of Divis rounded off a great walk.

Meelmore
Ott Track

Another perfect day for a hill walk to Ott Mountain, Meelbeg and Meelmore, returning via Ott Track. And perfect visibility to enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the Mourne Mountains.

Broadwater

Nothing could have been more enjoyable than taking time out to appreciate the scenery along the picturesque Broadwater Canal as well as enjoying wall to wall sunshine and a perfect blue sky. Twentyfour Cedars Walkers clocked up five miles during their Thursday walk from Soldierstown to Aghalee and back . It was, as always, a perfect day for walking - and chatting.

Roosley

Another great walk from Yellow Water car park to Roosley, led by Shirley. A great choice of route for a perfect day out.

Lukes Mountain
Lukes Mountain

Another perfect day for hill walking - cold and windy with low cloud - just the day for taking the Trassey Track and on up to Lukes Mountain. A great day out in the Mournes. The smiling faces tell it all.

Mourne Park and Knockchree

Another perfect day for our walk in Mourne Park and up to the summit of Knockchree to enjoy uninterupted panoramic views of the mournes and Carlingford Lough. A handful of fallen trees didn't deter us.

Lumpers

As promised, it was another perfect day for Herbie and friends to walk in the Cooley Mountains before returning for welcome refreshments at Lumpers Pub.

Peatlands

Cedars Walkers enjoyed a short hike round Peatlands.

Ulster Way to Tievdockaragh

Not the planned walk due to limited visibility on Ott but a great walk nevertheless along Ulster Way from Leitrim Lodge, up the Yellow River and over Slievedockaragh. Alison, in her inaugural mountain leader role, was ably supported by Derek - well done both.

Murlough

Despite a bisteringly cold wind from the east and high tide we set off for murlough and had a great walk through the dunes with shelter from the worst of the wind provided by gorse bushes, trees and other vegitation, and the dunes themselves. Another perfect day out.

Scarva
Scarva

Cedars walkers, just about to enjoy a warming bowl of soup at Sinton’s on The Bridge, Scarva, after a very enjoyable 5 mile walk along the tow path towards Pontzpass and back. Thanks go to Ruben who was able to keep us updated about the Ravens, Ducks, Hawks and Tree Creepers on the way.

Roosley

Mike led another great walk on one of his favourite routes - Leitrim Lodge to Roosley. Storm damage on the Ulster Way didn't delay him for long.

Meelbeg

Shirley and Ronnie led a great walk on another perfect day from Ott Track over Slieve Loughshannagh and Meelbeg and down past Fofanny before returning to their cars.

Trassey Track

John O. led his group on a different route, enjoying very atmospheric light on the hills.

Benburb

Despite, or perhaps because of, a number of fallen trees we had a great adventure walking from Benburb Priory along the Blackwater and what remains of the Ulster Canal to Milltown. 5.5Km in great scenery and a perfect day for it. Afterwards a number of us went to Ardress where we walked the Lady's Mile, a beautiful scenic loop of 1.9Km past snowdrops and historic woodland so we got great value for our mile.
