Last Sunday we led our first ever family-friendly hike in the Mourne Mountains….

Seven families all met up early and eager to explore the Blue Lough Trail and enjoy some quality family time together in the great outdoors. Annette from the Four Acorns blog and her beautiful family travelled all the way from Wicklow to spend the day with us on this first step of our new adventure and she kindly took the time to write this lovely feature about the hike. I wanted to share it with you here because it meant so much to us as a family, and I think you will agree it’s pretty special, and the photographs simply stunning. Big thank you to Annette for her generosity of spirit, for giving hours and hours of her time to write it, and to her awesome Acorns and husband Brian for helping to make the day truly wonderful – we are so grateful x
