Title: Hello from a new member
Post by: andymcinroy on March 05, 2012

Hi all,

Just wanted to say hello. I had no idea that there was a forum dedicated to the northern ireland outdoors. What a great resource.  :D

I'm a photographer based near the Sperrin mountains. I am also very interested in wild camping and my next trip will be a backpacking walk from Glencolumcille to Ardara over Slievetooey.  I notice that someone here actually linked to my project to photograph the sea caves of Antrim (sample below). I have a webpage at http://www.andymcinroy.com (http://www.andymcinroy.com) if anyone wants to see more.

I look forward to contributing.

Hi Andy and welcome to the forum.  I certainly remembered the post linking your site, it was a fascinating read.  I look forward to checking out a few of the caves at some point in the future.

Hi Andy, Welcome to the forum.
Guilty as charged im afraid, it was I that put the link to your site.
I thought the work you had done both researching the history and Photographing the caves was fantastic and a very interesting read, and I felt a lot of the folks on this site would also enjoy it.
Hope you don't mind.

Welcome Andy. I had a good nosey through your sea caves website a while back and it was fascinating. I'd really love to see some of them in person.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.

The caves along the antrim coast are well worth a visit. I'm not sure how pleasant they would be to sleep out in though. Cathedral Cave at the White Rocks would be a good one. There's loads of driftwood in there.
