SUMMARY:Wind up/Wind down Walk
DESCRIPTION:Monday 31st July: Meet at Fairy Glen Entrance @ 12:00 noon\nWind up/Wind down Walk\nFor a number of years\, on the day after the Festival finished the Fiddler’s Green committee and a few of the visiting regulars got together and walked to the top of Slieve Martin\, the highest peak overlooking Rostrevor. Along the way a few songs were sung\, poems recited and beverages consumed as a way to relax after our hectic week. It has now become an extra festival event extending us into a ninth day. From the Fairy Glen we head up past the café to the River Walk and then on by Cloughmor to Slieve Martin. After some respite at the Cairn\, you can head back down via the Zigzags\, at your own pace to the village where a small session can be found in one of our many fine hostelries. Although it is a fairly high climb it can be done at a relatively slow pace and for the less fit there is an opportunity to start at the high car park. \nDuration: 2 hours\nDistance 7km\nHighest Point: 485m\nLevel: Easy to Moderate\nCharge: FREE \nFiddler’s Green Walking Festival \nAll of these walks will be in the moderate to difficult category. There will be many steep climbs and ascents and many sections are over rough ground so good walking boots or trail runners are highly recommended. If you are not an experienced walker then walking poles would be very useful. \nYou should also wear waterproof clothing and carry a good waterproof jacket. Please check the forecast in advance to find out conditions for each day. \nIt is extremely important that you also carry some drinking water\, a packed lunch and some high energy snacks. \nAs we will often be crossing private land with livestock on them\, dogs are not allowed\, except on the wind up/ wind down walk. We operate a strictly “leave no trace” policy. \nAll walks are guided and there will only be a small charge to cover the cost of buses as required. \nBuses will be from the Square in the centre of the village. Please note times of each walk.

Starting beside the sea in Bloody Bridge near Newcastle\, this is the route taken by brandy smugglers over the centuries to avoid the excise man. It takes a steep climb up to the Mourne Wall at the Bog of Donard and then levels out to a wonderful soft meandering path just below many of the Mourne High Peaks\, past the Castles with great views of Ben Crom reservoir and the Devil’s Coachroad. We cross the Wall again at the Hare’s Gap and then continue down along the Trassey Track to finish up at Meelmore Lodge where we will catch a bus home. Definitely bring a camera. \nDuration: 4 hours\nDistance: 11km\nHighest Point: 550m.\nLevel: Moderate to Difficult\nCharge: FREE \nFiddler’s Green Walking Festival  \nAll of these walks will be in the moderate to difficult category.
