Standing in the footsteps of giants
Next morning, the sun is shining and people are rested and recovered as we set off from Carrowmena. Somehow we avoid climbing to the highest point on the route, as intended, at Ballyhanna Forest (326m) but we hide our disappointment well as we begin to follow the pretty coastal route towards Castlerock and pass the Mussenden Temple on its …
At last - we got to see the Giant's Causeway
