On the 24th March a group of around 50 students paid a rather wet and windy visit to the North Antrim Coast.

The group consisted of 11 Spanish, 2 Danish, 1 German, 1 Dutch, 1 Finnish…Erasmus students, 2 American students (1 IAS and 1 from Mississippi) and 10 students and 2 tutors from the David Yellin College in Jerusalem as well as 10 students from St Mary’s and Stranmillis (who will be going together to Jerusalem next month).  Sarah Lindsay (SU President), Margaret Mulhern, Richard Greenwood (our guide!) and Laurence Siberry were also there.

They walked from Portrush’s West Strand to Ramore Head, and after a lovely lunch in the Ramada Hotel , travelled on to the Giant’s Causeway. By early afternoon the rain had stopped and some sun was even glimpsed! The group enjoyed hearing about the formation of the Causeway stones (as well as the Finn MacCool version) in the short film presentation at the visitors’ centre before seeing the real thing for themselves.
