Day 2 to Portglenone

Sorry to leave the crazy friendly Green Monkey Lodge, the very definition of a good craic. 
Made our way around the head of the Lough and met keen gravel cyclist Roy, who showed us a brilliant route through the grounds of the agricultural college into Antrim. He was test riding a £6K gasgas bike.
What a nice place Antrim is by the river and in the grounds of Antrim Castle where the smell of wild garlic was intoxicating. 
on through Randalstown and the coast road to Toome. Great views of the Sperrin mountains before turning north to Portglenone. Clearly once a much bigger port, now just some pleasure boats. B&B is opposite a Cistercian Monastery 
Splendid dinner and first Gunness at the Wild Duck.
37 miles covered
