Slieve Donard (Sliabh Dónairt) Hike, Northern Ireland

Covers a rainy and foggy hike to the highest point in the Mourne Mountains of Northern Ireland, near Newcastle. Newcastle is a nice, attractive small city in the southeastern part of the N.I., on the coast of the Irish Sea. The hike was more interesting than usual because of recent rains which caused the steams to thunder down the mountain next to part of the trail, and made some of the crossings more uncertain than usual.
