On the way to the centre of the Mournes, we stop for stories, ranging from the ancient Greeks, to the Celts, right up to the modern day with advent of anstronomy.
This is an evening of star stories and hill walking to capture the imagination

With nothing but the light of your torch and our leaders to guide you, this peaceful walk lets your senses roam, the feel of the breeze on your face, the sound of the nearby river in your ears.
Meeting at OTT carpark, after around 30 minutes of gentle hiking we reach our destination, where you listen to our guides tell fascinating stories of times gone by; how the ancient Greeks cast their Gods to the heavens to live there forever, or the ancient Irish legend of the BrΓΊ na BΓ³inne and the connections between the famous River Boyne passage tombs and the night sky above us.
Later, our guides move to the modern age, the age of astronomy and science, and tell you of wonders of the night sky as seen through the eyes of humans today.
We'll also show you some mobile phone apps in order to give you something to take away from the event, so that you can keep on learning about the night sky for years to come.
