"West to the Mourne Walls of Comedagh"

Photo taken from the slopes of Slieve Donard [849m] looking west to the walls and slopes of Comedagh with Cove mountain and Slievelamagan in the distance. I shouldnt have approached it this way as it wasnt safe really. It would have been better to follow the C track below [ well a backward C! ] and then turn left [east] along the wall. Ill know better next time. Not all info on climbing websites are to be trusted!
The Mourne walls criss cross the mountains and cover a distance of 22 miles and 15 mountains. It was constructed between 1904-22 in order to keep livestock away from the "Silent Valley" reservoir which is the main catchment area and serves Belfast. Its a work of art and really beautiful as its constructed from the natural granite of the area. The blocks are about 3ft long and 6 inches in section. They also run through the wall sticking out on each side here and there to form rough steps for crossing it.It takes 2 men to lift them.
There were 4 stone masons working on it on Thursday.
The certainly had immense pride in their work and are highly skilled and very friendly, proud and hardy men! I loved the natural quality of their conversation.Theres is a dying skill unfortunately but hopefully it will continue here.
I really cannot recommend this place highly enough and the close by town of Newcastle is a great seaside resort for relaxing holidays.
Hope you like it and heres Paul Brady. Im inclined to ramble a "wee" bit meself as if you hadnt noticed!!! Lol!
Best of everything to you!
