EAST COAST ADVENTURE

“The Spirit of Mournes” Guided walk

#EastCoastAdventure

The-Spirit-of-Mournes - Guided-walk2

Discover the rich history of the Mourne Mountain Smuggling trade and trails and how smugglers evaded the coast guard and revenue man using backpack ponies and high mountain passes.

We will take you on a journey back in time while walking one of the Mourne Mountains most famous trails, the Brandy Pad. On one of the many rest stops, we will take time to appreciate the spectacular panoramic views, tell tales from the smuggler times and enjoy a dram or two of some of the beautiful local whiskey produced a stone’s throw away.

Experience & celebrate the sun rise & sun set – A truly uplifting experience – “Not just your everyday mountain hike”
