A quick microadventure overnight camp on Slemish mountain
It was Friday afternoon when Ed, Dave and myself met each other outside Belfast’s City Hall during our lunch break. The sun was beating down and the workforce were out in their numbers relaxing on the grass around the city’s iconic building. It was during this break in our day that we decided that we […]
Garron Point Camp with a visit to Galboly Clachan

A walk in Roe Valley Country Park
