    GREAT INTERIORS HECTOR McDONNELL HECTOR McDONNELL GREAT INTERIORS Exhibition dates 3rd - 21st November 2015 21 Bruton St, London, W1J 6QD I have been working on the paintings in this exhibition over the last two years. They concentrate on what has been a constant theme for me - an endless fascination with interiors both for what they tell us about the people who inhabit these places even when they are not there and the curiosity aroused by half-seen glimpses spied through windows and doors. The mystery of the not-quite-known is forever enticing.

  • Off the Beaten Track
    Off The Beaten Track: Slieve Binnian *Crown Copyright. Route and Distances are approx. Only for guidance.* Sliabh Binnian - Mountain of the little horns (peaks) Within an elliptical area of about 22km by 11km, The Mourne Mountains are among the most famous tourist attractions and perhaps the most popular walking areas in Northern Ireland. The highest point in Northern Ireland, Slieve Donard and the other 34 summits and forests, loughs, rivers and bogs attract visitors all year round. There is something for everyone here from casual "stroller" to dedicated rambler and runner and our rich heritage is written all over them. The Mountains of Mourne were originally known as Beanna Boirche, after a Celtic chieftain and cowherd called Boirche who ruled his little kingdom from Slieve Binnian, the third highest peak in Northern Ireland after Slieve Donard and Slieve Commedagh. Binnian is called the Mountain of the little horns because of its long summit ridge with several tors (rocky outcrops) that resemble an array of little horns. This route also takes in part of the famous Mourne Wall made from the granite quarried in the Mournes. On average 2m high and 1 metre wide, with virtually no cement to keep it together, it runs for 35km over the tops of 15 mountains and took 18 years between 1904 and 1922 to complete. This walk has been split into two parts. Both can be done in a day but this would require a very early start, ideally between late Spring and early Autumn and a lot of stamina. We opted for one relatively easy walk, an overnight wild camp then the more difficult ascent of Slieve Binnian the next day.
