Our walking group returned to Strangford on Saturday (18th Feb) for a dander around the shores of Strangford Lough and Castleward Bay. This was the first time we had revisited a walk we had explored before, but there were a few changes to keep it fresh – we travelled in the opposite direction to Autumn 2015, we went at low tide and there were no leaves on the trees this time.
Our next outing will be to Newcastle on Saturday 11th March, leaving the club at 9.30am.
