Walking: the Down Coastal Path, Orlock Point to Bangor

Took bus down to Orlock to walk back 6.5mls along the sea edge...
(including elements of an oddly-placed, unfinished coach-road)
started bright, breezy & cool; always wi'plenty o'cloud! 
The cloud began to build & darken...
the light began to go...
we were always gonna get wet!
By the time we got to Ballyholme, the tide had receded a tad,
so we didn't have to paddle... but we did get drenched!
'Twas a lovely stroll mind...

Walking: Rosedale - mineral railway clockwise...

 
At the end of August we circumnavigated the dale...
'twas a long old climb up Chimney Bank -
with a 33% gradient, that hill is taking the piss!
The Lion Inn is somewhere behind me...
Haggis, Black Pudding & Bacon in a mustard/whisky sauce is magnificent!
It did start to batter down before we got back to campsite...
even though we hid for a while, we done got wet!
Beautiful day of walking mind...
