Another perfect day for walking at Kilbroney on 26 November 2020. From the north-east corner of the upper car park John led a group of ten up on to Slievebane, Slieve Martin, Slievemeen and Ballynagelty (Kodak Corner). 7.75Km and 535 metre total ascent. A great time was had by all.

Trassey Track and circuit of Bearnagh

John led the walk up to Trassey Track to Hares Gap and then round the back of Bearnagh before returning via Poolaphuca, a 10Km trek with a total ascent of more than 450 metres. Because of the particularly challenging conditions encountered on the day - rivers in spate, cold wind and very wet ground - it has now been officially promoted to grade 4. Well done to the twenty brave souls who took part and arrived back safely.

Slieve Croob

Slieve Croob

12 November was another perfect day for walking with Ruth at Slieve Croob, in sunshine, with the bonus of a bracing wind at the summit.

Bog of Donard

John and Dorothy led a group of 9 from Bloody Bridge with the intention of climbing Chimney Rock Mountain but on reaching the Bog of Donard cloud rolled in and reluctantly it was decided to postpone our climb until an even better day which would allow us to enjoy the spectacular views from the summit. That apart, it was another perfect day for walking - we managed 5.5 miles, climbed just a little short of 600 metres and we all returned safe and happy. There's no better way to spend a Thursday!
