<\/a><\/p>\nHas the counter-windfarm revolution started already?<\/p>\n
Whilst the experience of walking across Slievenahanaghan is somewhat diminished by the windfarm it does offer great views from it and is worth the climb for that anyway.<\/p>\n Looking back at Slievenahanaghan.<\/p>\n View from Skerry Hill<\/p>\n Next it was over to Slievenanee. The summit plateau of Slievenanee is considerable and it felt like I was getting nowhere fast manoeuvering through, over and around the peat hags.<\/p>\n ‘Southern’ cairn on Slievenanee with Slemish in the background<\/p>\n A lone pine tree growing on the summit of Slievenanee<\/p>\n At the summit cairn the views into Glenariff were fantastic.<\/p>\n After dropping down onto Wee Slievenanee I made my way into Slieveanorra Forrest where I picked up the start of the Bush River. From here the river makes it’s way through County Antrim eventually meeting the Atlantic Ocean at Portballintrae, passing though a certain distillery on the way.<\/p>\n The walking, through fire breaks and alongside the river was tough going at times with very tall wet grass to wade through.<\/p>\n The waterfalls were pretty impressive.<\/p>\n As time was running short I cut back out onto the road to complete my route back to Altnahinch Dam. Whilst the views had been stunning, it wasn’t all about looking out. There was plenty to see looking down also<\/p>\n Then it was into the car to meet Rumblebum and a couple of other mates for an wildcamp at Kinbane Head on the North Antrim Coast. This place is simply stunning and had long been in the plans for an overnighter.<\/p>\n Kinbane Castle<\/p>\n The view back to the main headland<\/p>\n Sunset<\/p>\n A cracking night was spent chewing the fat around a driftwood-fuelled fire while the stars sparkled in the skies above.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
