Another perfect day

Keep safe, keep well, keep walking.

Yellow Water to Red Bog
Oxford Island
Great walk at Oxford Island with Ruth. If you go down to the woods today you're sure to find: lots of muddy paths, a few diversions and the odd obstacle! But ... you couldn't miss the countryside bursting into life - the carpet of yellow celandine, pussy willow catkins, bluebell flowers just opening. But did you see the Great Crested Grebe from the bird hide? The first brood of waterhen chicks and the cowslips just outside the coffee stop? A great morning despite the rain shower. Many thanks Ruth

Alison led a high speed loop in the Cooleys, perfectly timed to get back to the cars before torrential rain.
Hen and Cock
Another great walk. Thanks Shirley.
Can you help?
Ott
Does anyone recognise the bird perched on this stile?
Rocky and Hares Castle
A few caving difficulties didn't spoil an otherwise excellent walk with another fizz-box found along the way.
Clare Glen
A blue sky day and 15°C for Clare Glen. Wood Anemone and Celandine in full bloom. Great wee dander - and of course coffee in the Courthouse to cap off another perfect day.
Ben Crom
A perfect day for a most challenging walk - Happy Valley to Meelbeg, Doan and Ben Crom where the elusive Ben Crom cave was located and explored.

Leitrim Lodge to Eagle
John O. led a tough trek of 10.6Km from Leitrim Lodge up to the summit of Eagle Mountain and back via Tievedockdaragh. All four seasons in one day - glorious sunshine, driving wind and hail, topped off with a sprinkling of snow. Altogether a great walk.
Broadwater
It was a perfect day for a leisurely stroll from Soldierstown car park along Broadwater to Aghalee
Ott Track
Ott
Shirley led a group of 8 eager walkers up the peaks of Slieve Loughshannagh, Carn and Ott. Our route enabled us to enjoy views of the snow capped peaks of Donard and many others. A very enjoyable day with pleasant weather conditions.
Mourne Park

Slieve Croob
Gordon led an ascent of Slieve Croob on another perfect day for walking. Lunch and the superb views were enjoyed on the summit.
Barnavave Loop
Another perfect day for a classic walk from Carlingford on the Barnavave Loop. Thanks Shirley.
Tollymore
As promised, it was rain all the way at Tollymore but that didn't stop us enjoying more great walks in Tollymore and, for a lucky few, lunch afterwards at the Maghera Inn. Another perfect day.
Oxford Island
The promised strong winds in the Yellow Weather Warning had passed by the time we started our walk at Oxford Island on 12 March and the threatened heavy rain proved to be no more than medium drizzle. So five of us enjoyed a short walk from Kinnego Marina to Lough Neagh Discovery Centre for a well earned and enjoyable coffee break before returning to our cars. John even managed a small fry with his cuppa to recharge his battery. So it was another perfect day after all.
