Tuesday 22nd July 2025
Pack up early - though with an embarrassing delay as I fail to get the pop up roof down: I'd left the small radio on the shelf and the roof wouldn't move down until I'd realised.
Down south through Omagh and further south of Armagh to Gosford Country Park which, for £5 provides walks, cycle paths, a playground and basic refreshments. I'm growing used to these country parks. This one has an arboretum too.
I follow two different walking trails, with a coffee break between, adding up to a little over five miles (12,500 steps), so County Armagh tick! and I can now drive on to my final campsite, two nights at Craigavon Lakes. The site is called Kinnego Marina and is on a bay which is part of Lough Neagh the largest lake in the province. It does have a suspicious number of barriers and doors requiring keys (my entry key fob has a £20 deposit) which makes me wonder what unwanted activities have been going on, but the facilities are well maintained and it's pleasant to be next to water.
This site is part of the Oxford Island National Nature Reserve. I walk to the end of it and boost my day's steps to 19,000 as I reach the shores of Loch Neagh.
Today also I discovered that my bike, so far unused on this trip, has a badly bent rear wheel. No idea how that happened but it's unusable.
