Evelyn
If anyone has been lucky enough to have met Evelyn they will know why she is called ‘the Saint’. She will often join in with the group ensuring that no one feels under pressure and is always there to provide that helping hand or word of encouragement when needed. Evelyn is as local as they come, to the Mournes being brought up in a small cottage between the slopes of Slieve Muck and Pigeon Rock Mountain so it goes without saying that her happy place is in the mountains. Her grandfather, Roger McAliden, was a well-known stone mason and farmer in the area, playing a significant role in constructing the Mourne Wall and Silent Valley. One of our most cherished possessions is his very first payslip from his work on the Wall, dated 1911, which we love to share with visitors in the hills.
