Aimed to visit Dark Hedges, but rain and inappropriate bus timetables stopped play. Benj got the folding bike out for its first trip, but only as far as the Tourist Info Centre before the rain started again. There is only one very decrepit pub at the harbour in Ballycastle, so we couldn't even go for a Guinness. There is a rather fine hotel building - the Marine - but it's been closed for some time, an increasingly regular story round these somewhat depressed parts of 'Norn Iren', as it's known here. So after a glorious sunset, more time to read, sing a few folks songs (also my guitar's first outing for a very very long time), and sleep with the promise of better weather tomorrow.
