Another fabulous day walking in the Mourne Mountains, Co.Down, N.Ireland. Today we tackled the biggest one of them all, Slieve Donard, but by a route which we had never tried before. Starting from Bloody Bridge, just outside Newcastle, we followed the Brandy Pad route up to the wall, then turned right and followed the wall to the top. Then we descended down to the Saddle, turned left and followed the Brandy Pad back to the start. A great route with great views throughout.
Sadly, Andrea developed a knee problem on the descent which slowed us down a bit, but she persevered and made it down ok.

Nice bit of water going over the falls and got it nice after the storm. Looked a tough walk up and I loved all the memorials at the top, which had brilliant views. I h

Alan, it's like some of the Lake District walks in that it's a classic and has to be tried. Great days walking but tough again. Maybe I'm getting old or soft! Regards, Ashley

Hi there Ashley, thanks for visiting our channel, thought we'd pop over and say hello! That's a great hike you've filmed, we were lucky enough to visit Northern Ireland a while back, but didn't nearly do enough exploring! Looking forward to watching more of your uploads, many thanks, Simon and Elaine👍

Hi, thanks for your comments. I really enjoy learning from others and youtube has a great community of hikers and walkers and it's great to find others with similar interests and at a level I can identify with. So I'll be checking out where you've been! Keep smiling, regards, Ashley

Another great walk Ashley. It looked really tough going up beside the wall and equally as steep coming back down. Superb views from the summit. Hope Andrea's knee is ok? Cheers. Eddie.

Eddie, she's fine now, bit of a mystery injury. It just flared up on the descent. Next video to come was a lot tougher, Andrea was unavailable, and I was struggling on it. I think the Mournes are really hard as the paths are often non existent, whereas the Lake District has fabulous paths. Have you any walks coming up soon? Regards, Ashley

@@ashleyjarnold Hi Ashley, yes I noticed from your videos of the Mournes the paths seem very rough in places. We have walks planned in the Yorkshire Dales, Scotland and the Lakes for the coming weeks. We are hoping to get some walks done next week. Cheers. Eddie.

@@eddiecaisley5746 Scotland should be great. We spent just over 3 weeks there in 2016 and loved it especially the west coast. Lots of big mountains there!! Regards, Ashley
