Another brilliant and free day out :)

One of my 101 in 1001 challenges is to go on a hike every month and to do more day trips and touristy things. This month we packed a picnic went to Scrabo Tower and Killynether Forest Park, near Strangford Lough. I'm lucky enough to live in one of the most beautiful countries in the world (Ireland!), wee day trips like this remind me not to take that for granted.

Us at the top of Scrabo Tower, thats Strangford Lough/the Irish sea behind us 

 

I really loved the solid stone spiral staircase all the way up, you can see the dip in the stair caused by thousands of feet over the years. I love the age, those stairs were built to last!

Al and I really love days out like this, getting out in the fresh air even if its cloudy and windy, it really brings you to life, blows the cobwebs away so to speak! We also love exploring our country, I've traveled my whole life and we have travelled since meeting too and out of the whole world we chose here, we didn't just end up here, we chose here and that gives me/us a huge sense of contentment and security. This is our home and we love it!

Getting out for walks and hikes also has 2 other added bonus's - keeping fit and healthy, and being free (we bring picnics and a flask for tea) so our money can go towards our dream :) 

On a funny side note - This is classic 'me' when out walking, I LOVE trees and so tend to walk
around not looking where I'm going... Just staring up at the beautiful branches...

Not so clever when you're walking over this terrain LOL aren't they pretty though?
