Mourne 7 Sevens, Down

Badger Rating 5.0/5

A popular challenge on foot every August, not too many have topped the 7 mountains over 700 metres in the Mournes wielding a bicycle. A long, tough day, with plenty of carrying, but some great descents and very technical riding. Get yourself a map of the Mournes, and throw in a spare set of legs as well.

Getting There

Park at Carrick Little car park, south west of Slieve Binnian.

Trail Description

Cycle round the road to the Ott track (Ott Mountain), and head for Meelbeg and Meelmore, then to Bearnagh, Hare's Gap, Brandy Pad, Commedagh, Donard, back under The Castles, over Cove to Lamagan, then Binnian, and back to the car.

Hard, hard work, with lots of carrying, but well worth the effort if you get the day for it, which we did. Just a great day out!
