Thursday night we went for a walk round Brown's Bay down by Islandmagee not far from where we live. Nice bright evening. Took the GPS and found a geocache down near the shore.
Friday morning we set off to climb Slemish, the mountain on which St. Patrick herded sheep. Turned out a much better day than forecast by the weather man.
Nice little visitor's centre at Slemish now though the mountain itself is still as steep a climb as ever! Found a well hidden geocache just over the top on the far side. Had a picnic and picked blaeberries (bilberries I think they are called in England). Going to make blaeberry muffins tomorrow.
Nice walk back down the hill. A few people about. (I think about 5% of visitor's actually climb the hill!)
