Great stuff guys, it's a hell of a distance to do in 2 days. Sounds brilliant to get a 2 day walk but without the hassle of having to carry a full 2 days gear plus a proper bed in the middle!

I did the Down Way - the coastal walk from Holywood to Donaghadee a couple of times which is about 18 miles and it was a real killer on the feet. Great fun and brilliant views though, we should do that one of these days.

I like the sound of that walk, never walked that before

It's a lovely dander following the coast, perfect for a day wander, especially when the weather's nice. The halfway point is also Bangor so you can stop for chips too, it's win all round Now I'm itching to do it again, might give it a rattle in February if anyone fancies.

That's brilliant, put's it into perspective the distance travelled.

when will people ever listen to my most important bit of advice "cut yer toenails"   

my favourite sock for long hikes are a pair of 1000mile ones that have a sewn in inner sock which acts as a wicking layers and also guarantees no blisters, so far so good, although i haven't really done an exceptionally long walk like that yet.

Hi Liam, there's a walk called the Mourne 7 7's, you should have a go at that, oh hang on, wait a minute!

Sorry mate, I just couldn't help myself lol.

Oh no, not another one of rumblebums "I did the 7 7's you know" stories?

Hey Rumblebum, you may need a new profile pic since you have been well and truly knocked off your perch

Spud you can also do the Clandeboye way which starts at the lead mines and cuts over to Helen's bay and then walk the coastal path to Hollywood which is quite a nice walk.

I've written up the walk in the beginnings of our fledgling blog here:
