About this Event
Join the adventure in the less explored Western Mourne Mountains
On Sat Feb 21, 2026, we will gather at Sandy Brae Carpark where we will leave our cars and be shuttled to our start point at Deers Meadow
We will then head deep into the quieter, wilder side of the Mournes — taking in Pigeon, Slievemoughanmore.., before climbing Eagle, the highest peak in the Western Mournes. From there we roll on to Shanlieve, finishing strong on Finlieve. Dropping down to the cars at Sandy Brae.
This is a true through-hike.
A little bit wild.
A little bit rogue.
Off-track, off-grid, and well away from the crowds.
If you love adventure, exploring, and mountains that feel untamed —
this one’s for you.
⛰️ No Ordinary Adventure.
As always, we’ll be taking this at our usual relaxed pace — no rushing, no chasing times — just soaking it all in, enjoying the craic, and letting the Mournes work their magic. 🌄🥾
