Belfast 5 November 2006



Sunday morning dawns overcast. Spectacular Antrim coast road. Arrive at Carrick-a-rede rope bridge. The sign says closed for the end of the season on 31 October but, ambiguously, states "Open Today" underneath. A windswept clifftop walk to the bridge. The attendant helpfully informs us that the bridge will be dismantled tomorrow as it is worn out at the end of the season. He could have saved that till after the return crossing. Pose for photos on the bridge. Smile? No, gritting teeth and not looking down.
