(Posted: 6th
January 2008)
 Residents
of Trassey Road woke up to a nice blanket of snow last Friday morning
after heavy snow fell over Thursday evening. An average 4 - 6 inches of
snow was recorded at Meelmore Lodge, where some spectacular views of the
Hare's Gap and the Mournes were available. We have just uploaded a
selection of photos
from the area taken first thing on Friday morning - enjoy!

Meelmore Lodge
Celebrates Six Years of Business
(Posted: 11th July
2007)
The last weekend
of June 2007 marked six years since members of the public could securely park
their car and have a cup of tea at Meelmore Lodge. The past six years has
seen it grow from a farm diversification project, to a popular destination
for family camping, hill walkers and tourists, boasting a secure parking
site, bustling coffee shop, family campsite and, most recently, hostel
accommodation - all at the foot hills of the Mourne Mountains.
As always, we are
continuing to work towards improving our facilities in order to facilitate
the increasing numbers passing through, and hope to begin work on a new
shower and toilet facility and a coffee shop extension in the near future. We
would like to extend our thanks to all our visitors and their continued
custom over the past six years and hope for many more to come.
Let us know what
you think!
