So eight of us started out from Trident House in the tail end of Storm Callum with strong southerly winds. Unusual not to see the planes going in and out of Belfast City Airport with most cancelled for the morning. Joining the coastal path we were somewhat surprised to find the sea so calm – but then as our coast was north facing we were enjoying the comparative shelter. Apart from negotiating the many puddles along the route following the previous night’s rain, progress was well paced.
