This is a definite possibility for me.

Especially as you are using phrases and teminology like "take it easy" and "Gently".

Yip......Count me in.

Guys,

here's a link to the Cavehill walking route which I trust will be of interest to you:-

I recently did this walk and found it enjoyable without being a killer.

I've done Cavehill many many times. I grew up living within 10 mins walk from the entrance to it.

Lots of history there and interesting places along the proper paths as well as off them.

Could prove to be an interesting day.
