I completed this trail in 11 days in May 2023. Be prepared for LOTS of road walking. Overall not many sections Id likely do again because of this. The highlights for me are Slieve League-an Port, Ardara-Glenties, Baronscourt, Gortin Forest & Lakes, Moneyneany-Glenshane Forest, Portstewart-Ballintoy, The Moyle Way, Glenarm-the hills overlooking Larne. Mostly very remote and seen very few other hikers over the entire trip. Heres a video I made documenting my journey: https://youtu.be/6OU4lezmKsg
