As I’m going a bit soft in my old age I’m introducing a winter permanent. This will be available as a permanent only through the dark nights from November to April (but not during BST).
Draft route is here – https://ridewithgps.com/routes/24759077 – I will be testing / refining over the coming month in time for the frost.
Routesheet – available on request.
Controls:
Belfast Zoo – Photo is fine.
Antrim (20K) – photo
Oxford Island (61k) – photo
Portaferry – ferry ticket (125k)
Millisle – photo (164k).
From Millisle to the Zoo you can free route – after a few attempts at the coast route I’ve given up – the bit between Bangor and Hollywood seems to involve a shitty road or a hilly shitty road.
So – the gps route now goes out to ‘Ards and in to Belfast along the Greenway – which is OK if there’s only one of you and its not busy. Newtownards road is a good alternative with bus / cycle lanes. Just get back onto the Antrim road and out to the Zoo.
As with all my permenants – I’m pretty liberal with my start finish points and open to other route change suggestions.
