So I posted on Saturday about a hike in Gortin Glen, County Tyrone. But posting from the mobile, using eSteem, I managed to lose the images. A few of you upvoted the post - many thanks! - but I'm pretty

The Sperrins: Gortin Glen
Today we crossed to the western part of Ulster and explored Gortin Glan forest park. I don't know the Sperrin hills well enough - hopefully change that soon.

Derry's Walls - Climbing Wall Review
In my (re)Introducing Myself article I mentioned that I’d taken up climbing. So far, that’s mostly been indoors, and until now on one wall, that at Belfast’s Ozone leisure centre. But last Saturday a few

With fine weather over Easter, it was time to set the vegetable patch up for spring. In the midst of weeding, I noticed that the wild garlic had escaped onto the gravel around the beds – only one thing

Fairground: a Photo-poem
The funfair’s in town... There’s a strange nostalgia, almost a magic about a funfair. It speaks of an older world and, if you’ve read your Ray Bradbury or your Stephen King, of a world of odd, even uncanny,
