OK this weekend was ( shock-horror-climate-change-probe ) actually lovely weather, blue skies, sunny and not windy at all. It has to be said at this point that this is not unknown in April in Northern Ireland just REALLY REALLY rare! So given the nice-iosity of the days I left SWMBO to her garden preparations and set forth on two walkies.. One around 8 Miles around the Causeway and the other a 9 miler around the coast between Portstewart and Portrush and back – It was GLORIOUS out and I got to play with both my new Phone ( The Droid “My Tracks” app rocks but more of that in another post )
This is the Causeway Circuit Walk – http://bit.ly/dCDWZE and here is the Ports walkie http://bit.ly/cMSYpe are some Piccies

You pass this grave on the Ulseter Way path between Portstewart and Portrush. It dates to the early 1800's when the body of an unknow sailor was washed up on the shore not far from his last resting place, which arguably has one of the best views anyone could ask for eterenity 😉
