Chasing Cars...

Today was to be a jaunt taking the riverside route and cycleway down the River Lagan from Belfast to Lisburn.



Breakfast stop off at the Lock keepers Cottage by the overgrown and neglected canal


At Lisburn I stopped for a chat with Eric Morcambe, the comedic inventor of the defibrillator!





A few miles from Lisburn was affluent Hillsborough, with its royal residence for the Secretary of Northern Ireland and somewhere that Liz and Phil can stay when they visit the territories.
When they go out for a pint they usually visit the trendy Smithfield House bar in downtown Lisburn, so we did the same.












Todays track by frontman Gary Lightbody from up the road in Bangor, Northern Ireland lead the successful band ‘Snow Patrol’ that I once saw as a support band to ‘Athlete’ back in the early nineties.
