Going over to N.I. in March next year and was hoping to take my Da to a sporting event, preferably something a bit different so I'm looking for suggestions please.

Any general info/places to go/things to do would also be great.

Staying on the east coast but we'll have the motor so travelling isn't a problem.

Thanks guys.

There's GAA in Northern Ireland isn't there? It's certainly a bit different...

Aye James quite fancy something like that thanks. A wee game of handball would be quite good. Hurling too.

We go to the Hurling when we are over .... usually good clean fun but theres that edge from the local derby's when 2 grown men are at each other with big sticks.... Magic... Stamford Street Circa 1978

did you go over the rope bridge??

the bridge is surprisingly stable, wouldn't fancy it in high winds though.

I should have some pics somewhere from a trip we made there a few years ago, although they are pre digi so will have a lot of shoeboxes to go through.

I sure did to the calls of my wife saying stay off that bridge tubby...
I was actually more amused at those who took off like scalded cats across it trying to show bravery.

Kinda like this poor soul...

I was pissing myself untill i seen the poor guys tears and he was truly distressed as to how he was getting back across.
Never helped when some helpful wag said if it snaps then yi have feck all else to worry about.

From the outer bank looking back

It is more stable than you would at first think but you have to stop for a wee bounce in the middle

Never noticed these replies. Great shots.

I took 1000 photos when I was over. Really liked the place but don't think I'd bother my arse going back to Belfast.

Still going through them all so I'll post them as I process.
