Day 7 The Final Day

Why is it that the weather is always best on the last day of your holidays? As we loaded our cases on to the coach before breakfast there wasn't a cloud in the sky and it was sad that we had to leave so soon. But before catching the ferry home we had another walk to do in the area east of Belfast. For some reason I never got my camera out of my rucksack today so I have to thank Neil for supplying today's photos.

The 'A' party were following the Ulster Way and this was no easy task as once again the trees got in the way and the waymarking was poor or non-existant.


We did eventually find Helen's Tower and then proceeded briskly on our way. However by the time we got to Crawfordsburn village it was touch and go whether we would finish in time so we abandoned the walk, caught the bus, and spent the rest of the afternoon in a leisurely fashion at the Ulster Folk Museum having tea and looking around.



The 'B' party had a spendid walk along the coast from Bangor and also arrived in plenty of time for tea before we all departed on time for the ferry from Belfast to Stranrar. The crossing was as calm as it could possibly be much to my relief and we made good time on our journey home arriving in Bingley at 12.45 a.m.
