Very very sad news from Donard today 🙏

As always the amazing volunteers of the Mourne Mountain Rescue going above and beyond for all the walkers in the hills

Callout 13.07.23;

At 1318hrs today, the team received a call for assistance via Police for a walker collapsed at the summit of Slieve Donard. The team responded alongside Air Ambulance and given the nature of the call also requested the assistance of a SAR Aircraft. Unfortunately, despite the best efforts of all involved, in particular fellow hill walkers, the walker sadly passed away at the scene. 12 members responded and stood down at 1640hrs.

Our thoughts are very much with family, friends and all those involved at this time.

This epic Hike will give you the opportunity to experience 'The Devils Coach Road' , Slieve Beg (595m). This exhilarating scramble up this infamous gully between towering flanks & scree underfoot is a must do for any adventure seeker. However, completing this Hike we would always advise doing so with an experienced guide.

Once you have completed this exhilarating scramble to the top the panoramic views & photo opportunities are endless.

Once your heart rate has descended we will then make our way to Cove mountain (654m) & again enjoy amazing scenery & pause for a while to absorb the beauty of the Annalong valley.

We also plan a short night time adventure for you to experience the great outdoors at night. The following morning we will cook breakfast & then clear our campsite (Leave No Trace) & return back to civilisation.

You will have lots of opportunity to learn the basics of wild camping & there will be loads of tips and tricks. Upon completion of your wild camping experience you will be leaving with skills to set off on your own camping adventure.

You must provide all your own camping equipment & food.
Do not worry. Upon booking we will provide you with a guide of what you will need for this wild camping adventure.
