- TOUGHSOLES.IEThe Tullylacken Loop: Leitrim Day HikesTucked away in hidden valley of the Iron Mountains, the Tullylacken Loop is an unassuming walk that will show you the true quiet of rural Ireland. OverviewDistance: 10 km Looped TrailTime: 2 - 3.5 hrs (depending on route and fitness)Start Point / Parking:The info board for the start of this trail is here on google maps. Theres room maybe two cars to park at the junction here without impeding access to the lanes. Trail difficulty: EasyThis trail primarily follows wide gravel logging tracks, with a short stretch on rural lanes. Explore our trail grading list here.Trail quality: 2/5This is an exceedingly quiet trail, which can add to the appeal of escaping from the world - but can also manifest in the trail being a touch forgotten. The infrastructure surrounding this trail is well worn. Views: 3/5While surrounded by tall forestry for the most part, there are several moments where the trail offers nice views of the surrounding hills. And despite the face that most of this forestry is commercial, plantation style growth, there is still wildlife to be found in the reclaimed pockets. Buggy/Wheelchair friendly: NoThe tracks that make up this trail use a lot of hard core or large gravel, which would be hard under wheels. Dogs allowed: No - according to Leitrim Tourism.External Resources: Tullylacken Trail Map by Leitrim Tourism.Ive mapped out this trail on Hiiker here. View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize Its a warm May evening as I park the car in the small lay-by at the info board. As I get out and begin to gather my things for the walk, I listen to the general hum of nature and the gurgle of the stream behind me. While there are many ways of interpreting the phrase the middle of nowhere (snowy, isolated peaks; miles deep in an ancient woodland) this trailhead feels like the most Irish version of the saying. The valley that the Tullylacken Loop meanders through is a a narrow river valley that somewhat divides the Iron Mountains area from the Cuilcagh Mountains. There is a bridge, there is a gravel track, theres some bog, and thats it. But thats okay - Im not here to find long forgotten summits, or searching for glacial lakes. Im here to appreciate the sunshine, and explore in a more minute way. A note on way-marking Depending on what information you read the way-markers for this trail are referred to by different colours - and are then different again once you see them in person. I think this is partially due to the age of the trail and the sun-bleaching of the signage. The way-markers that I followed for most of this trail were purple and pink arrows. I think the blue arrow that Leitrim Tourism refers to in their trail description has faded to the purple colour I saw (and to add some confusion, the purple they talk about I think might now be the pink). I think this is a route best walked with downloaded digital maps. Trail Overview: The start point of this trail is at its most southerly end, and walks in an anti-clockwise direction. On the walk out, you will stay quite east of the Yellow River, with glimpses of it down below you to the left. At the most northerly point of the trail, youll come to a four-way crossroads. The trail turns left here, heading back down the valley, closer to the banks of the yellow river. If you keep going straight here, and will soon hit a bridge that crosses the river. Its only on the return journey that you will cross over the river to the westerly bank. The trail never brings you right alongside the river. Descriptions of its original route make it sound like it once did - but in its current form, the whole route sticks to the logging tracks of the forest. View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize After maybe an hour of walking on that sunny evening, I was struck again by the quiet of the place. Id not heard a soul since half way through my drive over, and I doubted I was about to see anyone any time soon. And that is the gift of this trail - the solitude. It cant offer the excitement of Kerry, or the development of the Mournes, but it can give you space. View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize As I neared the end of the return journey, two large red shapes stepped out from the trees and began walking along the track ahead of me. My brain froze - these were the biggest reddy-brown creatures Id ever seen. For a split second, my thoughts shouted moose?!. But of course, it was a much more native animal in front of me. It was two red deer bucks, the largest, reddest bucks Id ever seen. They walked with no hurry in their steps, and as the second reached their unmarked turn-off, it looked back at me as if laughing at my incredulous stare. View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize The Tullylacken Loop is a nice evening outing. Its not a trail I would travel to Leitrim for, but if you are here and want somewhere new to walk, its a perfectly good option. And who knows, maybe youll meet the same two bucks that I did - if you do, give them a wave from me. View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize Watch our youtube video of this trail here.

- TREKANDMOUNTAIN.COMEverest Revisited exhibition marks 100 years since Mallory and Irvines disappearanceA new Everest Exhibition reflects on 100 years of inspiration and human endeavor through art, photography and rare artefacts.To mark the centenary of Mallory and Irvines tragic disappearance on Everest, the Gallery at Rheged, at the gateway to the North Lakes, is currently running their Everest Revisited exhibition. Using original artwork, remarkable photography, film, and rarely seen artefacts, this brand new exhibition brings to life lesser-known stories, the personalities of past and present that have made Everest a household name and some of the little known and untold Cumbrian connections. This is the UKs most significant mountain-focused exhibition since the National Mountaineering Exhibition, 20 years ago. The exhibition is open to the public now and will run till 16th March.Spanning 100 years of mountaineering history, the exhibition delves into pivotal moments of Everest exploration, from early mapping expeditions to pioneering climbs, advancements in mountaineering technology and the vital role of the Sherpa community. The exhibition is not just about the past, its also about todays mountain communities and explores thought provoking themes of motivation, mountain waste and spirituality.Rare artefacts will be exhibited, kindly on loan from the Alpine Club, Mountain Heritage Trust, and Royal Geographical Society and some of families of the key people. Among them, Mallorys boot and goggles found on Everest and the original invoice for the sock, embroidered with A.C. Irvine discovered in September 2024 by a National Geographic team. A selection of tents and mountain clothing will sit alongside Irvines ice axe found mysteriously on its own in 1933 high on the mountain, and Wakefields camera and video recorder each with their own Everest story to share.Highlights will include artworks by Howard Somervell from Kendal and William Heaton Cooper from Grasmere , Bentley Beethams iconic photographs and historic images from the Wakefield and Norton Family. Contemporary art and sculpture also feature by British artists such as Alexander Heaton, Peter Kettle, Susan Dobson, Derek Eland, Julian Cooper, Andy Parkin, Ruth Charlton and Rob Fraser. A specially curated area has been dedicated to todays leading Nepalese painters and renowned photographer Mani Lama.The last day of the 1921 expedition photo by Howard BuryRhegeds Gallery Curator, Claire Harrison says This must be one of our most ambitious exhibitions weve developed and curated to date. We hope to honour the bravery and creativity of the climbers, artists, and storytellers who shaped Everests history, and bring out the Cumbrian links to Everest and showcase mountain art in all its forms.The idea for the Everest Revisited exhibition was put forward by local alpinist, writer and film maker, John Porter, also founder of the Kendal Mountain Festival Over the past hundred years, the fascination with Everest has in part, been a driver for a massive growth in mountain tourism worldwide. We are very aware of the impacts here in Cumbria, and now we turn to what Everest has meant to Nepal. The exhibition, where we have created an authentic voice for adventure and exploration, will reflect not only the extraordinary Everest mountaineers of the 1920s and the decades that followed, but also looks at the positive initiatives happening in Nepal today.Accompanying Everest Revisited is an inspiring programme of talks, films, and Q&A sessions in Rhegeds Cinema, offering a deeper insight into the history and stories of those who have tackled the peak. Highlights include a film screening of Everest Revisited 19242024 with Krish Thapa SAS Mountaineer & Spiritual Guide (4 Jan), a talk with Julie Summers on Sandy Irvines life (10 Jan), and a Q&A with legendary filmmaker and Keith Partridge following his film, Bonington: Mountaineer (11 Jan) and presentation, Life Behind the Lens (11 Jan) and Stephen Venables the first Briton to summit Everest without Oxygen (1 Feb). For the full line-up visit Rheged.com.Everest Revisited is open daily at Rhegeds Gallery and costs 5 to enter with 16 & under free. Tickets are available to book online or at the Gallery desk.0 Comments 0 Shares 369 Views
