Hi all,
My name is Ruth, 25 and I'm from the North Coast. I'm lucky to be able to enjoy walking many parts of the coast line! I would love to meet up with like minded people and explore new areas to hike! I've just recently agreed to walk the West Highland Way in August (mad I know!) so I would appreciate any training/advice thrown my way!!
Looking forward to future hikes with you!
Ruth
How's about ya Ruth I'm sure some of the guys in here have hiked the Highlands and will share with you what your after. Welcome aboard.
Hey Glen,
Thanks very much! Still finding my way around the site - will keep my eye out for any upcoming hikes! Thanks for your help!
Ruth
Welcome to the forum!

Welcome Ruth. Fair Head has been on my list for an overnight for years, maybe you can point us towards any nice spots!
Hello and welcome :) :)

August! A Midge head net and repellent are a must. A tick remover too.
No idea what your setup is etc but 'go light or go home' is my motto :)
Thanks for the lovely welcome everyone!!
I love Fair head - Grey Man's path is a must!! There are a few spots for camping but if you preferred some home comforts there are a few National Trust cottages you could rent for the night!! Let me know if you get it organised and I will def join you!!
p.s. Typo-On - "a tick remover" - this does not enthuse me one little bit!!
Welcome to the forum. :)
Welcome to the forum Peeweeperry,god these names are getting better ;D
Welcome to the Forum. I have been up in the North Antrim Coast. Stayed in the hostel in Bushmills. Great part of the country. Again welcome... :)
Hi peeweeperry love the north coast, take the wee caravan up in the summer (bit of luxury) and am gonna try get off my boogie board and unto a surf board this year.
welcome to ni wild.
Hi Ruth, that's a great part of the country to be in. Much better than Downpatrick*
* Half the forum seem to be from there, so they are fair game for it.
Welcome Ruth. I am very fond of the North Coast. I sometimes stay in Ballintoy so I can go hunting gryphaea at White Park Bay.

Yeeeeeooooo ;D
Hi Ruth welcome to forum lovely part off country, wife and I walked fairhead on our honeymoon so good memories there just
Welcome along.
Definitely try to pack as light as you can for the West Highland Way. Minimum weight, maximum fun!
Welcome Ruth, being from Downpatrick ::) I'm haven't done much walking up North, just the path to the Giant's Causeway cos I was too tight to pay for the bus ;D
Hello and welcome! Best tip is enjoy getting out and have fun with it: everything else will come naturally!
Hello and Welcome to the forum.
Thanks for the welcome! Let's organise a wee trip up to the North Coast soon! Carrick-A-Rede to Giant's Causeway is a great walk or a easy hike around Binevenagh is also very enjoyable!
I will be up that way next month hiking. It won't be long hike though just from the adelphi to the harbour bar. Be rude not too lol.
Welcome to the forum Ruth. The majority of my hiking experiences are from the mournes, but I've wanted to do a few north coast walks, especially binevenagh for a long time. Think I saw it on a tv program (Hannah Shields was on it) a few years ago and thought that looks great.
Anyway, if it gets organised and I can go I can give a few people from belfast a lift up :)

Lo Peeweeperry,
Been up the North coast working this past two weeks, and should be making a regular appearance in the summer. I Would be interested in meeting up for a dander as the scenery is stunning and I really fancy walking along Fair head.
Welcome ;D
I love the north coast, any chance I get I'm up around the giants cause way. If you can pass on info of other walks that would be great.
Many regards dave
I am thinking of going there over the Easter week so it would be good if you could pass on info on other walks. Regards David
