The lower photograph is Ushet Port (also a renowned smuggling location). I carried out a survey of the area as part of the Rathlin Island Project (later published in a book about the heritage of the whole area).

Indeed Heff!!

I am (all being well....fingers crossed...touch wood etc) heading away for a weekend biking and camping with a mate on 15th / 16th / 17th August. So a lot depends on whether that is my monthly allowance for heading away on the bike from Mrs Moorso! :huh: But maybe the next (Bank Holiday) weekend 22nd - 25th or last weekend 29th - 31st??

Failing that....September??
What do you(s) reckon??
