Re-Using old railway lines

I came across this excellent blog site while casually browsing the Interweb recently. As both a walker and a cyclist, I think that this is a great idea that should be heartily supported. These old lines could form an important building block in the countryside network infrastructure that needs to be developed in Northern Ireland. They could be used  as paths and trails for recreational users, and also by local people and children travelling safely between towns and villages - well away from dangerous country roads. Politicians take note.

Wild Nephin

Amidst the depressing lack of progress on countryside access legislation, both north and south, sometimes you hear about something that just brightens your day up a little. The Wild Nephin project is a brilliant idea, and will hopefully become a model that can be repeated across the island and beyond.
