17^th August	Causeway Coast Benone-Castlerock (A to B)	No IMP	Meeting at car parking area at the beach in Castlerock to leave half the cars (point B). This parking area begins just after the public toilets and extends along the beach front. No more than 2 persons per car to point B WE WILL BE LEAVING POINT B AT 10AM TO GET TO POINT A	8 Miles approx. Mixture of beach, road and grassy track. The walk on the beach at Benone involves crossing over 3 small streams. These come from Downhill cliffs and near the sea they dissipate and should be easily crossed. However, if there has been heavy rain or there is a high tide this might be difficult. I suggest we all bring a small towel and be prepared for a paddle!

31^st August	TBC
