We are rambling in border country today, and on a trail that stretches across three continents. With two doggies. This is the Ulster section of the Appalachian Trail, 457km of the same geological heritage as the USA trail, and stretching from Sliabh Liag in Donegal right across the province to Larne in county Antrim. This is Slievedoo ( Sliabh dubh- black mountain) straddling Tyrone and Donegal, a wondrous God’s-own-country landscape of mountain and forest, bog, wildflowers and big sky.
There are excellent routes up here for walkers, and plenty to appreciate- lots of mushrooms at the moment, still some heather in bloom, 50 shades of green between the young saplings and the gnarly old timers. Two tails wagged for the entire walk, and two baths were in order when we got home! enjoy
