For me this was the best day of the holiday as my main reason for being here was to see the Giants Causeway. First of all we all set off in the coach the short distance to the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge where most of us braved the shaky trip across to the island and back again. The weather was glorious and the sea was very clear and a beautiful colour.
I decided to join the 'A' party ably lead by Roy in true CHA style ignoring all signs indicating the path was closed as we made our way along the coast past Ballintoy Harbour to White Park Bay where we had our lunch and a some had a quick paddle.
Then at last what we had all been waiting for, the first views of the Giants Causeway and it certainly lived up to expectations. There were plenty of visitors as it was Bank Holiday Sunday and I would love to go back there again some time to spend more time taking photographs and exploring the whole area.
After time for viewing the causeway we all made our way to the visitor centre before setting off on the last part of the walk to meet the coach at Portballintrae. This last 2 miles was the most difficult to navigate and in the heat of the day it was the most tiring part of the walk for many.
