WhatsApps going round (I won’t be sharing here - the young women are probably only in their late teens) of young wans in their underwear up on Slieve Donard and then a video of a few hours later and they waiting for the air ambulance

I could see the Mourne Wall beside them, so if they followed that down, they would have had a clear enough route. Unless one of the party had got injured. I’m not sure.

We all do stupid things at that age, but people need to learn that you can’t mess with the mountains. Hiking has got trendy now, especially since the lockdowns. I’d love to do more hiking myself, but don’t have the time, so choose to run the mountains and hills instead. I’m seeing places where I never would met a single person last year now populated with new enthusiasts. But some of them are ill equipped for the weather or the terrain.

Ill equipped is the stand out, like the eejits on boards etc without proper life jackets, radio etc, fail to prepare
Prepare to fail

It’s one of the healthiest activities out there. Brilliant for kids, especially those living in towns/cities/estates. I’ve loads of little fun new trails lined up for the little one for Spring and Summer. Little stream crossings, wildlife, plenty of fun stuff. In another few years, she can start coming on open mountain with me.

Not deadly in Ireland 
mostly safe, did the Carpathains mountains in Romania now that’s dangerous without a guide.
In Ireland it’s the lazy preparation fucks us
All for the ‘gram’

Good internetting!
No, nor tomatoes or onions.
I wouldn’t eat them now either unless they’re well cooked.
The mountains in Ireland are all very accessible. You could tip away up the likes of Brandon in a pair of shorts and suddenly be in heaps of trouble at the top lost on a featureless bog in a heavy mist.
