If you are going to be in Northern Ireland between the 3rd and 7th of June this year, the arrival of the Olympic torch will be a sight to behold.
The flame will journey over from Greece to arrive at Land’s End on the 18th of May 2012. Here will begin the 70 day trip around the UK.
Travelers to Northern Ireland this year can expect to see the torch-bearers arrive into Belfast on the 3rd of June; it will then be carried through more than 60 towns and villages until the 7th of June where it will leave for Cairnryan in Scotland.
Travelling for around 12 hours per day, the torch will ultimately arrive at the Olympic Stadium in Stratford for the lighting of the cauldron at the opening ceremony.
List of destinations in Northern Ireland through which the torch will be relayed:
3rd June – Holywood, Bangor, Newtownards, Comber, Dundonald, Stormont, Newtownabbey, Carrickfergus, Glynn, Larne, Drains Bay, Ballygalley, Glenarm, Carnlough, Glenariff, Cushendall, Ballycastle, Dervock, Bushmills and Portrush.

7th June – the final leg of the relay will take in Newcastle, Dundrum, Clough, Downpatrick, Crossgar, Saintfield, Ballynahinch, Templepatrick, Antrim, Ballyronan, Magherafelt, Ballymena and Moorfields.
One of the challenges in selling travel has long been the ability to properly and fully communicate the myriad of options available during your vacation. While many golfers know the courses they wish to include, it is often helpful to spend a few moments reviewing the courses on video so that you are completely comfortable with your selection.
To aid in this process, we shall be adding many short videos of the most famous, and some not so famous links courses of Scotland over the coming months. Each one provides a great sense of the respective experience. The first video in our collection is the Ailsa Course at Turnberry…one of the most iconic settings in golf.
The videos are short in length as they are not intended to be course tours, but rather highlight the principal features and notoriety of the courses and permit each golfer to better educate themselves on the options and as a result, provide the very best possible travel experience to meet their wishes.
I hope you enjoy.
