Newcastle, County Down
We were hoping to have a residential, down in the Mournes and surrounding areas, over a three day period at the beginning of October. Sadly this has had to be curtailed. We needed to pre book the Hotel well in advance and we just didn't have enough firm bookings to allow us to do that. Apologies to those who had intentions of going and thank you for ... Read more >
Castle Ward
The weather forecast had not been good for Sunday 2 nd October, so it was with some trepidation that we set off on our National Trails Day outing at Castle Ward, near Strangford.

This Ramble incorporated both a ‘City’ Ramble and a ‘Town Park’ Ramble and together made for a very interesting day.

Gosford Forest Park
The all important Weather Forecast had said that the rain should stay away, and we all agreed.. It Should! And for most of the day it did! Once everyone had a scooter, the group, some 20 strong, set off on a route around the more kept & cultured parts of Gosford Forest Park. We learnt about the history of the estate and it’s occupants over the ... Read more >

Saturday 16th July was the date of our visit to Sir Thomas & Lady Dixon Park, to enjoy the “Rose Week” festivities.

Our intention was to go ... Read more >
