Walking together.
Keeping apart.

And into the mountains we delve ... to lose our minds and find ourselves @ Divis Unexpectedly it really was APDFW ... another perfect day for walking. The sky was grey, the wind was brisk and the temperature was just a little below autumnal but the rain stayed off, and could see for miles (all the way from the Sperrins on one side to Scotland on the other). And at the end of our walk we even saw some blue sky - "large enough to patch a sailor's trousers".

Divis & Black Mountain - 24 September 2020

Everyone enjoyed the Ridge Walk and John's party also walked the Heath Trail across blanket bog. A great time was had by all as we cheated the weather and enjoyed the walks in perfect conditions on Divis up to the summit of Black Mountain. Thank you National Trust.

Tipperary Wood and Binnian

On 17 September we had some great walks - six brave souls tackled Binnian but most of our walkers started at Donard Car Park, heading up through Tipperary Wood to Drinnahilly. John's group kept going on up to the quarry and down to Newcastle harbour via the Granite Trail - a little over 6 miles and a 360 metre ascent. All on another perfect day for walking. More pics to follow.

Thanks to everyone who sent pics to John for the website.
