Glenariff Visitor centre

We stopped off at Glenariff forest park on the way towards Belfast. We walked the 3 mile round trip down the waterfall trail to the tea rooms where we had tea and then the shorter route back to the car park. The tea rooms is a favorite haunt of Joe Dunlop, a famous(?) TT rider. We went through Carne on the way to Antrim and stopped in a site on the banks of Loch Neagh, the biggest loch in Ireland. More like an inland sea with the waves rolling in!
We had a visit from an army patrol walking round the site fully armed with machine guns, looking for goodness knows what. Then we spotted the army HQ fence within mortar distance of our site and it all made sense. There are a lot of flies here despite the wind and rain. It was £12 per night including corrugated iron toilet block.
