Camping on Rathlin Island

Recently, I went camping with my boyfriend and a few of our friends to a place called Rathlin Island which is like a 30 minute drive from where I live and then another 25 minutes on a ferry (that's the quick one too!) on top of that! It was quite a wee distance just to go camping I thought.

As I have previously never visited the island, I had made an assumption based on other people's view of it.. 

i.e. it was wet, cold and there wasn't much to do :S

Not ideal for me!

I really wasn't looking forward to this especially as the weather had been terrible at home :( However I powered on and decided to go..

Well everyone was right.. It was cold and it was wet (only once though) and there was nothing to do but oh my goodness the craic was amazing and the scenery even better! :)

We got the campfire going and the tents up.. it was a lovely change - peaceful and beautiful. Not great signal for mobiles so everyone was actually being social which nowadays makes such a change. 

There was a chippy called Emma's Chip Ahoy which was delish.. so if you ever go, head there for some yummy goujons! Also a bar/restaurant, plenty of hostels and b&b's to stay in, an outdoor gym and playground and beautiful walks along the pebble beach coastline.

While we were there we went rock climbing which was a bit scary at times but really good fun.. Got to see the seals up close and personal! ;) But our main activity was just sitting looking out at the beautiful views with great company and a wee sneaky drink too!

I took so many photos while we were there (all of the pictures on this blog are my own!) I had to hike to the toilets a lot on my own so it passed the time on the long walk but also made it 10 times longer haha.

I'm actually quite proud of them since they were only taken with my Galaxy S3 :) no snazzy cameras!

Some of the clouds are amazing!

Let me know whatcha think of my photos :)

#BlogOne

-

So, as you may have guessed, this is my first time blogging (of my own free will). I had to do it for a university project, which sounded really exciting at the time, and then we got handed a gigantic book to read and had to critically analysis what some of the given chapters were talking about! -___-  ...So yeah that was fun and worked out well.. put me off the whole thing! 

One main reason why I'm going to try and blog is, as my title implies, I am a media student and I do not utilise the media to it's full potiential so I'll give it a go and *fingers crossed* it'll all work out and I'll give you all something interesting to read instead of just babbling on.. kind of like I'm doing now... Oopsies! :P 

So the reason I'm back trying it out, is cause my very good friend, Nikki aka Pintsizedperfection, (http://pintsizedperfection.blogspot.co.uk) started up one and it brought back the thrill and want to do it again. P.S. You should defs check her out! :P

And here we are..

(I'm the one with the reddy purpley pinky hair.. I'm really not sure what colour it is)

But yeah, this is us posing as usual for my 21st birthday which was only a month ago :( waah I'm getting so old.. What's with that? Still feel able 16!

A little bit about myself..

- I'm 21 years old and currently studying Media and Production at University of Ulster

- Obsessed with studs and leather :S sounds bad but it's so good!

- Love make up - especially eyes and eye brows as you can probably tell from my pictures

- My social life consists of festivals and concerts

- I occasionally bake but had to stop cause my and my other half were getting seriously fat.. (YAY Great British Bake Off is back #tooexcited)

- Elmo is the bestest character from Sesame Street!

So, I just want to say a big..

..to you all and I hope you like my wee page!
