Another perfect day

Keep safe, keep well, keep walking.

Glenariff (from Irish Gleann Airimh meaning the Glen of the ploughmen). A great walk on the Scenic Trail with amazing views over the U shaped valley carved out, like the other glens, by glaciers. Then dropping down to the gorge and the boardwalk (first constructed 100 years ago - that's the boardwalk, the gorge is even older), and up to the waterfalls before coffee in Laragh Lodge. And for a few well seasoned world travellers, their first visit here didn't disappoint. Thanks to our leader, Gordon, the expert driving of Paddy Mc and the navigational skills of Paddy C. And, the ----- banter!!

Gola

A spectacular day out on the tiny island of Gola which boasts what is arguably one of the best tea rooms in Ireland - a very welcome sight after a day in the hills.

Granite Trail

A splendid day in the Mournes with Shirley and Ronnie leading a walk on the Granite Trail with a diversion on to the Drineevar Loop and a stop off at Drinahilly and Rapunzel's tower. Clocking up more than 10Km and 320m ascent, the happy smiling faces tell it all.
