Well, went for a drive last weekend down the Lough Shore road outside Portaferry and came across a nice stoney beach with a couple of lads in scuba diving.  One of the lads was making his way up the beach so I went over for a chat and he was telling me about the amount of scallops, red crab and other edible goodies just a stones throw from the shore when tide was in.  As soon as the wife heard about the scallops I was ordered (not told) to get my snorkelling gear sorted and wet suit out and get down there the first chance I can.  If I survive the hyperthermia I will post some pics on Sunday night of my catch.  Wish me luck.

I could be up for doing something depending on times.

I was thinking of heading up after work.  I work in belfast and finish about 5 so I would be parking up somewhere at 6ish.
