⚠️ It's important not to feed the ponies and to give them space. They are feral, previously abandoned and unpredictable. Only one of the horses approached us and was comfortable enough to let us pet it.

⌚️ 3.5 - 4h up and down
✅️ Park at Silent Valley 🚗
✅️ Walk to the dam🚶♂️
✅️ Follow the road on the right all the way to Ben Crom Dam
✅️ Take the stairs on the right up the Dam
✅️ Cross the dam, over the stile and turn immediately left
✅️ Follow the path as it curves right up the hill
✅️ Follow this path up and round
Now you have a choice:
✅️ Either stay on the path until the end of the rock stacks on your right and curve round them, walking back on yourself, in a U shape, to the summit
Or
✅️ Turn right, off the path earlier, when you spot a gap in the rock stacks (this is much shorter but steeper)
It's one for you to judge for yourself! We cut off early, hence the lack of footage around that section (sorry!) and just headed straight up.

🥾 It's no secret I love a hike, and it's my Mournes hiking guides that brought most of you here. There are still lots of routes to show and you can always delve into my Highlights to get an idea for your next hike. I've started expanding these guides to cover hikes across the island, so keep an eye out for those!
✈️ If its travel content you want, you're also in the right place. I like to show the best of this island, as well as countries around the world - particularly places you might not think of going to, and I always share tips and itineraries along the way. I save it all in my highlights so you can always look back for some inspiration 👌🏻
⛺️ I occasionally share some of the best and quirkiest places to stay around NI, with recommendations on the best hikes, activities and sites to see nearby 🙌🏻
🏄♂️ I'm always up for a bit of an adventure, so you can also expect paddleboarding, boating, scuba diving, cycling and general outdoor content!
🏰 I also like my history, so you might have to put up with the odd post about wars and ruins but hopefully you find that interesting too...
If you made it this far, thank you! If you like what you see on this page, please be sure to like and share to help it grow further - every little helps! 😊 (I'm not sponsored by Tesco...yet)
