Club Outing – Giant’s Causeway

Club Outing – Giant’s Causeway

Well, the (not so) intrepid seven were driven north with some degree of trepidation and dread! We had a driver who spent much of the outbound trip regaling his (captive) audience with tales of terror and protest, of oppression and unrest. Anyway, we braved the border...

The sun shone beautifully on our glorious day out in Howth. We enjoyed fantastic views over Dublin Bay with Ireland's Eye and Lambay Island glistening in the sun. We were enthralled with the magical winding pathways through the rhododendron trees. It was a first...

The weather forecast bode ill with wind and rain but some 12 members ventured into the trees amongst a carpet of blue waving bluebells. The light dappled its way through the foliage and very occasionally the very few light rain showers obliterated the sun; it was...
