Great stuff. Black Mountain and Cave Hill are great for exercise when you live in Belfast and can't be bothered driving to the Antrim Hills or Cave Hill. The standard Cave Hill loop from Belfast Castle is actually a really good workout - decent distance and ascent.

Hi Red,
Yea both are handy and you can vary the routes,I go clockwise and anti-clockwise from the car park on the Hightown road.Also the Black mountain is right behind my home.
