Another perfect day for walking …
The wind was blowin' a hoolie
As we set off in the Cooleys
We were glad we wore our woollies
But we didn’t need our jumpers
When we got back safe to Lumpers

Craigavon Lakes and Lough Neagh
16 January 2010
The forecast suggested that Thursday should have been a duvet day but those brave souls who ventured out were rewarded with a good and sometimes dry walk round the lakes.

Antrim Loop - 02 January 2020
A large group ignored the weather forecast and were rewarded with a day that was much drier than expected letting us enjoy an excellent walk on our traditional route on the first Thursday of the new year.
Distance walked was 5 miles for the shorter loop and 6¼ miles for those who opted to add on the out-and-back walk to Muckamore. A few brave souls added a hill section - climbing the historic motte in the grounds of Antrim Castle.
Mullaghcarn
Another perfect day for walking on 05 March from Gortin Village up to (for some) Mullaghcarn. Followed by tea and scones in the Millstone afterwards. Thanks to everyone who sent pics.
Lough Shannagh and Doan
Another perfect day for walking on 27 February 2020 with a great choice of walks. Well done everyone but especially to the intrepid climbers who got to th top of Doan and to Cecil for some amazing pics. Thanks to everyone who sent pics.
