The Great Big Photo Thread

[clairebear]

Was up divis yesterday evening, aside from the masts there are cracking views, taken on my I phone as I was only out a dander with cash.  Good to see lots of people out walking even though its only a stones throw from the city. 

There was a ferry heading out of the lough.

My view at the minute, two guys just thought I was the 7/7 check in, they went home over an hour ago, felt for them.

Hi Claire. Would I have seen you today around 1.30 on the path around the bottom of Meelbeg? We were just coming up from the dam to tackle Meelbeg as someone walking a dog like yours went past and I said hello but only realised that it might be you later on.

I bumped into her today as well (also recognised the dog first), we had just parted ways before that point, maybe it was something i said

Yeah I was on doan at 12.30ish having lunch and headed back the trassy track to bernagh, so would have been me,  there were loads of people on the race. Cash is famous lol. Hope the race went well for you phil....also nice meeting Landy Liam we had a good yarn too.

Where's this then?  There's a big clue

Somewhere near Larne

Achill Island, A walkers paradise! Croaghaun and Slievemore are two fabulous mountains and there are a myriad of other hills to keep you happy!

Somewhere near Larne

Indeed, it's Islandmagee across Larne Lough.  I think the big step bit you see on the silhouette of the land behind the lights is Knockdhu - at the start of the Sallagh Braes.

That's a nice spot Paulocon - if I went there it would rain and be zero visibility

Class photos Phil, you must have been up early as there's not a footprint to be seen. It just looks so peaceful.

That would have been a great way to start your day mate.

Yea, I was the first person on Donard and Comedagh, wasn't exactly peaceful though with high winds and driving rain and sleet. I left the carpark just before 7 and was on top of Donard for 8.15 as it was getting light.

Well done for getting up there, i had thoughts the previous evening of tagging along but after seeing the awful weather forecast I chickened out

Im probably going to do something similar next sat or Sunday as I need some ascents in my legs before having a go at mount Teide in tenerife at the end of the month so everyone welcome again. I do like an early start though . I also have over 1st to shift since doing almost no walking since my son was born in september.

Found myself with my brother heading up the Ott track at 7am this morning. Over Slieve Loughshannagh, Meelbeg, Meelmore and Bernagh and back via the Mourne Way. Few pics:
