Carrickfergus Castle , 800 year's old and still being lived in by a warden ! , now that's building at it's best ! Im holding on to my friends fishing boat in this picture because the wind was quite squally.
The Castle guards Belfast lough and was last used in anger during the second world war, the keep was used as an air raid shelter when Belfast was blitzed by the German Luffwafa and 50 meters right of the castle still to be seen on the ground today are artillary mounts to repell U boat's who tried to fire at Harland and Wolf ship yard , which was the place the most famous ship in the world the TITANIC was built some year's before.

Well It's a while ago since I have been overthere. I did travel so much in (Northern) Ireland and always enjoyed it overthere.
Seems you did start the same time as me with a Blog about (Sea)Kayaking.
good luck,
Jörgen
