When Dave arrived this week, I made a suggestion for a walk. Would I regret it later? Only time would tell. I really don't like going up hills. I enjoy the view from the top but, all that effort to get there....

Anyway, for some time we had been avoiding talking about a walk. The idea was to park in Ballaugh and walk into the hills on a circular route that came out in Kirk Michael. We would then either walk along the old railway track or the beach to get back to the car. So, it was a nice day so we parked in Ballaugh and set off. We walked up past the sheltered housing complex until eventually the road became a track. The views as we climbed higher, were pretty good

After some time we started heading down towards Kirk Michael

Now finally, we could get near to the hang gliders we had been catching glimpses of

We headed down to the beach for lunch and decided to continue along the beach. We would leave the beach at the lime kiln and then work our way through Orrisdale until we picked up the railway line again
