With its endless miles of trails, rivers, lakes and forests, the Mourne Mountain range is truly an area of outstanding natural beauty. This challenge will see participants take part in a 45 Km walk spanning 2 ½ days. Starting in Newcastle participants will climb the highest mountain in the North (Slieve Donard) before setting off in the direction of Rostrevor and East Coast Adventure beyond.
Each person will carry all the equipment they require for the challenge and will camp out in the hills on both nights. Food and all necessary equipment will be provided. While this challenge is open for the complete novice, a reasonable fitness level is required.
On all land based programmes East Coast Adventure will also teach and practice “Leave No Trace Awareness”
