Briers Country House Newcastle

Took a drive into Belfast this evening as I've never been before and I was curious to see it. I drive round in some trepidation as the is city has quite a violent past that is still quite vivied in my mind. I feel like I'm running some kind of guantlet by being here.

It was an odd experience in some ways, I would driving past housing areas that look like they've seen better ...

Met my group I am working with this week and within 5 minutes they all knew where I was from and where I was staying and my inside leg measurement (just kidding on that last one :) )

... we'd heard from the locals was beautiful - Glenariff Forest Park - for a brisk morning walk. We took the Waterfalls Trail, ~4km, of which the first half was steeply downhill towards the river, always a bad sign when you know the trek back up is soon to come!
