Meet Meelmore Lodge 9.30amIs this trek for you??
The route along Trassey Track is relatively easy; gaining an elevation of 267m over 3.5km that can make this an ideal trek for those starting out walking in the Mournes.
In addition, navigation is straightforward on this route which also helps anyone new to the area.
Seasoned hikers can also enjoy this as part of an extended hike through the Mournes. Taken at a leisurely pace, this trek to Hares’ Gap and back can be completed in just over two hours.
We will allow 3 hours for stops, easy pace and to stop for snacks.
This short hike up to Slieve Bearnagh can provide some of the best views in the Mournes.
The gentle rise along Trassey Track is a great warm-up trek before things get steep should you choose to go for the summit of Bearnagh!
The wind can be brutal, pack a good jacket just in case.
