Today was very grey and misty and both Dave and I were short on inspiration. In order to give ourselves some time to think, we headed to Braddan old church to see the snowdrops

We then headed up to Douglas Head to eat our lunch and decide what to do next. When we first arrived, we could see across Douglas but, as we ate our lunch the fog gradually came down obscuring the view. Undeterred, we decided on a walk to the lighthouse

As the rain was getting more persistent and the fog worse, we headed back over the mountain, stopping at Guthries for a picture on the way

A walk around Ballaghennie, Bride, Point of Ayre produced only a few shots this morning

Saturday 2nd February 2013

This morning we started at Mooragh Park but unfortunately there was no sign of the Kingfisher so we went into Ballaugh Curraghs for a wander

 

 



We ate our lunch at Ballaugh Shore but decided against walking along the beach and instead headed up Druidale. First stop, Montpelier

We then retraced our tracks and walked down to Killabrega

As we headed back into Ramsey, we decided to try again for the Kingfisher but, to no avail.

This morning, Dave and I started our day at Glen Helen. As the path on one side is closed, we had to go up and down on the same side but a nice stroll nonetheless

We next headed south to Glen Maye. No chance of a pint as The Waterfall pub appears to be closed. There was quite a lot of wild garlic sprouting and spring flowers starting to come through.

We next went to Niarbyl and took a wind blown walk along the coastal path to the white beach

The rain started just as we arrived back at the car so we headed back home, via Peel for our first ice cream of the year
