thanks, could be worth a run down you'd like to think it would be a bit easier to social distance in the mountains

This is from BBC News NI https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-52721480 How far can I travel to take exercise or meet friends outdoors? There are "no restrictions" on travel for those who are not self-isolating, Deputy First Minister Michelle O'Neill has said. That means in all the instances where people are now permitted to leave home, there is no limit on the distance they can travel. This is different from eased lockdown measures in the Republic of Ireland, where there is a 5km (3.1-mile) limit for those travelling to exercise. While most people have followed government advice to only exercise once a day, that has never been included in regional coronavirus legislation.

Air Ambulance helicopter Rescue 199 Coastguard Helicopter from Preswick, Scotland (winched 2 from another Island) 1 emergency response ambulance 3 emergency ambulances See official press release report from RNLI below video click the first picture. https://rnli.org/news-and-media/2020/march/08/portaferry-rnli-launch-to-kayakers-in-difficulty?fbclid=IwAR2AE7Y-JLqlSulUTNuaAE1hhW8yVewOiL7AdGBW1cCZ2LbAhsxfOx8JO74 Coastguard pictures https://www.facebook.com/231121433593809/photos/pcb.2857143864324873/2857128654326394/?type=3&theater https://www.facebook.com/231121433593809/photos/pcb.2857143864324873/2857128670993059/?type=3&theater https://www.facebook.com/231121433593809/photos/pcb.2857143864324873/2857129040993022/?type=3&theater https://www.facebook.com/231121433593809/photos/pcb.2857143864324873/2857128914326368/?type=3&theater https://www.facebook.com/231121433593809/photos/pcb.2857143864324873/2857128947659698/?type=3&theater https://www.facebook.com/231121433593809/photos/pcb.2857143864324873/2857129030993023/?type=3&theater

Yea, wee dander up and around Percy Bysshe and Cove cave, couple of the guys explored the caves. I had a great solo camp in the woods, very mild weather and the sunrise was glorious.

Weather looks good for tomorrow. Hopefully see some of you at carrick little car park 11am. I might even turn up at 10am for a wee fry at the cafe 😉. I’ll be in a gold Volvo estate BV61 registration, meet at the car. If you need my phone number PM me. It’ll be a slow pace, my wife is even thinking of going!
