This week, Dave and I headed south. We parked not far from The Shore by Gansey. The plan was to take the footpath from there to Colby, walk around the back of the village, through the glen and eventually back to the car. First though, a photo opportunity arose woth the Grey Wagtails in the stream next to where we had parked.

We carried on along the footpath - it was rather muddy in places, and crossed over the track for the steam train.

Once we reached the village, we went a short way up a quiet road before reaching the footpath which went past a mill which looks like it is having work done to it.

On the way along the track, we had views across towards Langness

The track led us into Colby Glen - and time for lunch

We then made our way to Colby station - just in time for a train to come in

We carried on along the footpath until we reached the coast and turned towards the car

As we headed back up north, we decided to call into Milntown - this week and next it was free entry here and at a number of other places
