Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why?
I have to say I prefer the beach. I love the waves on a stormy day, the stillness on a calm day and the different colours of the sea depending on the weather.
The variety of sea birds and their various activities, flying high and dropping their shells to open them on the rocks below. Scuffling with others to get that piece of food left by a passer by.
The salt air, good for the lungs they say, revitalises the system and the whole experience clears the head and calms the mind.
The mountains on the other hand, are not always accessible. Bad weather makes paths muddy and dangerous. Mostly a steep hill climb to get to a viewing point. Don’t get me wrong we have some beautiful mountains especially where the Mournes sweep down to the sea so we have the advantage of access to both but on the whole it has to be the beach.
