So here we are at the start of our walk giving you a flavour of the local scenery. We were surrounded by some lovely hills - the one you see beehind us Knocklayd. While it looked like it would be fun to climb, it wasn't one for this walk, as we already had 13 miles ahead of us without any detours.
The path we were walking on this occasion was the Moyle Way. For those who don't know the area, the Moyle refers to the area around Ballycastle and the local Council is the Moyle District Council. The Moyle way therefore is a 20 mile path taking in some of the best scenery of the area. We were walking the middle section and it is a very well waymarked walk. The waymarks, such as you see in our photo, pop up very frequently and were a welcome confirmation that we were on the right track. We wouldn't have wanted to stray too far off the path though as it was fairly wet underfoot and we could easily have sunk into a bog if we'd got lost.
Our next picture shows that after a stretch of forest walking the scenery became quite different and quite wild, with lots of moorland and small streams.
At this point in the walk, the path was the nice grassy track to the side of us. It did become a bit more challenging later on, as you'll find out if you keep reading.
By for now, love George, Yorkie, Eddie & Patrick xxx
