Mournes Expedition Area Information" (PDF). The Duke of Edinburgh. February 2011 . Retrieved 17 October 2019. The Mournes are a popular destination for Duke of Edinburgh's Award expeditions. [38] However, there are also a number of walking challenges which take place in the Mournes. The Mourne Wall challenge, which is also referred to as the 7-peak challenge because it takes into account 7 of the 10 highest Mourne mountains, is advertised by WalkNI. [39] The Mourne six peak challenge is advertised by DiscoverNI and takes hikers up Slieve Donard, Commedagh, Bearnagh, Slieve Binnian, Slieve Meelmore and Slieve Meelbeg across three days of hiking. [40] Northern Ireland is full of unique accommodation options. From castles and mountain lodges to coastal lighthouses and glamping there is something for everyone.OpenStreetMap is an opensource global crowd sourced map. It is better at showing footpaths than the OS in some places. This route takes you past two important mountain reservoirs. First is Fofanny Reservoir, with an underground water treatment works capable of processing 52 million litres of water a day. Second is the larger Spelga Reservoir, which was completed in 1957 and flooded a mountain pasture previously known as Deer’s Meadow. Parking: There is a small car park at the bottom of Doan and Ott Mountains to accommodate 12 cars. If it is particularly busy, you can park at the side of the road.

The Mourne Wall Challenge is Northern Ireland’s most revered fitness challenge. Like the Three Peaks, one of Yorkshire’s best walks, the Mourne Wall must be completed within 24 hours.Did the Mourne wall challenge yesterday (3 July 2017). Took 13 hours. A big challenge was the heat (I know, careful what you wish for!). I carried 8 litres of water, which was a killer to carry up binnion, but glad I did given the heat on the day. The water pipe at comedagh wasn’t producing.
