Twilight Hearty Hike 2025
Your next big adventure?
Escape the bustle of the city and join us for a night to remember this September as you experience the beauty of a stunning sunset in the Mourne Mountains before taking up our #TeamNICHS challenge - finding our way back to base camp after dark!
After some food at Meelmore Lodge we'll follow the route and climb Slieve Meelmore 680 m (2,230 ft) , taking in the spectacular views before reaching the summit to relax and watch the sun slip away into the horizon and all in aid of helping us continue our fight against chest, heart and stroke illnesses.
This is an all-inclusive event, a wonder walk not a race to the top, so suitable for anyone in general good health - no prior hiking experience required as our expert guides are on hand to help.
