My friend took this photo of me when we were out hiking Slieve Bearnagh a few years ago.

A friend of ours, an artist and musician and a lovely guy has gone missing somewhere in Northern Ireland. Last night was not a night to be alone outside.
He could be anywhere between Moira, Lurgan and Mournes.
If anyone sees him, call the authorities on 101 quoting reference 438 05/12/24.

Late dinner was a delicious burrito at the Maya Cafe in Newry. A delightful , friendly young lady took care of us even though the kitchen was closing. #northernireland #Mournes #cyclinglife #BikeTooter #Newry #food
The roads were generally very good, not busy considering it was a public holiday. I managed to capture some god rays later in the evening. #northernireland #Mournes #cyclinglife #BikeTooter
This part of the world is mostly livestock grazing and the fields are neatly walled with field stone. In this shot you can clearly see the difference between grazing fields and ungrazed. #northernireland #Mournes #cyclinglife #BikeTooter

The route took us around Slieve Binnian and here is my best shot of that peak. If you are inclined to zoom in you can see the Mourne Wall going vertically up the face of the mountain. The purpose of the wall, put crudely, is to keep livestock shit from the public water supply.

We started off in Rostrevor and had a big climb up to Spelga Dam #northernireland #Mournes #cyclinglife #BikeTooter
Yesterday’s ride through the Mourne Mountains was rewarding in terms of views. Most interesting for me was this headland I noticed. Pulling out G Maps and drawing an line, I was amazed to find out it is Howth Head in Dublin about 50 miles 80 km away. #northernireland #Mournes #dublin #howth #cyclinglife #BikeTooter
