The World of

Introduction

I have always liked walking. As a young Pastor in charge of a church in Harrogate, I led some of the youth on walks on the Yorkshire Moors.

When I worked in Dublin, weekends were spent in the Dublin Hills in the company of fellow enthusiasts flying model gliders. That sounds rather sedate but often included long walks from the nearest car parking place to the flying site at the top of the chosen hill.

More recently I regularly walked in the Antrim Hills. Sometimes I was joined by my brother or a friend or two. Sometimes I took my grandson, who at the time, was not yet a teenager.

I stopped walking about eight years ago and for medical reasons I became unable to walk more than a few yards. Having made a great effort to get well, I am waking again. I recently started meeting with East Antrim Rambling Club and this was the catylist that spurred me on to creating this list of walks.
