Go giant hunting, escape the internet + a horrid history walk

Giant hunting, an internet escape and a horrid history walk.

Last week I mentioned we’d been doing a lot of driving around, and my diesel bill has definitely noticed.

Not every mile was work, though. We stopped at Streamvale, just outside Dundonald, where we picked out a pumpkin and got it carved.

The rest of those miles were spent chatting to local businesses about working with OTDC. More on that soon.

Over 200 of you answered last week’s poll. More than half of you are in Belfast and a fair chunk are in Derry, and you told us travel is the biggest thing holding you back. This week there’s a Belfast music night and a heads-up on the Christmas lights tickets, but I want to do more. I’m working on a better experience for Belfast and Derry, with more listings closer to home. It’ll take me a moment to pull together, but I’m on it.

From here, you steer the ship. This week’s poll will really help shape where OTDC goes next, and I need your help to get it right. It takes two seconds: tell me what you’d most like to see from OTDC next.

Now, on to the picks.
