Mourne Shack

Mourne Shack runs guided outdoor activities from a hut at Meelmore Lodge on Trassey Road, one of the main access points into the Mourne Mountains near Newcastle. Guides qualified as Mountain Leaders take small groups on hikes that combine forest walking with wild river dipping and gorge walking in the streams below Slieve Meelmore and Slieve Bearnagh, alongside breathwork coaching for those trying cold water immersion for the first time. The business, incorporated in 2020, also runs summer camps pairing outdoor activity with English language teaching for visiting international students. Mourne Shack operates as a single outdoor activity provider based at the Meelmore Lodge site rather than running multiple centres, though instructors can lead trips further afield across Ireland by arrangement.
