Getting back into it

I cam across the following description on http://www.outdoorni.com/ and thoughy, although brief, it hits the nail on the head.

The Mournes in County Down is often said to be Northern Ireland’s “crowning glory” and it is certainly the most popular area for walkers in Northern Ireland. Rising dramatically from the sea, the Mourne mountain range is dominated by a compact ring of twelve summits, each rising above 600m. The highest peak, Slieve Donard, measures 853m. The Mournes are unusual in that their summits are grouped together in an area only 7 miles in breadth and 15 miles long, but this provides a wonderful opportunity for walkers to experience a diverse landscape all within a compact area.

This weekend I am going to ease myself back in slowly with a trip up to Slieve Croob and introduce the littlest member of our family to her first peak. It'll be no time at all before she's trying to race her brother up but this time around she'll have to make do with being carried. And if it won't stop raining I'll just have to head onto http://www.rawoutdoors.co.uk/ and see if I can pick up a Bushbaby for her.

Have a good weekend everyone
