The current COVID-19 countermeasures allow me to restart Guided Walking Tours around Carrickfergus, looking specifically at events here during the Second World War.
Enough chat from me - please watch the video.

Next scheduled Tour is on Saturday 10 August, leaving from just left of the Castle as you face its main gate at 10.30am.
Tour lasts between 45 and 60 minutes, and is only 1 mile long. Plenty of stories, information and photographs to share along the way.

It's great to see #TheOpen in Northern Ireland - a terrific advertisement for local tourism & hospitality.
Don't forget about the non-golfing businesses, though (hint).
If you want a walk that doesn't involve chasing a small white ball, join me tomorrow.

On this day in 1942, the 1st Battalion US Rangers were activated in Carrickfergus. This first American commando-style unit was at the forefront of the Allies routing of Axis forces from Tunisia, through North Africa, Sicily and Italy. (1/2)

If you join one of my Tours, you will find out more about the Rangers’ tough selection and training regime, and hear about the journey of one particular Corporal who created a unique place in the history of America in the Second World War. (2/2)
