Get the book by Paddy Dillon, The Mournes Walks, there's plenty of suggestions in there.

There's one in the book that I like a lot which I call the "Birdie Walk" ... Hen Mtn., Cock Mtn. Pigeon Rock, Slieve Mougahnmore, Eagle Mtn. and then down Shanlieve (very steep) to Castle Bog.

Going up there next w/e and staying at Attical Hostel, hope the weather's good

Slieve Bearnagh would be my next port of call. Its actually on BBC2 NI at the minute. If you have access to the iplayer the programme is called Off The Beaten Track.

That book by Paddy Dillon is a must if you are new to the Mournes.
