Walking in Belfast

Regulars on the Lagan, lunch walks on the Ormeau Road

Most Belfast income comes from repeat clients rather than one-off jobs, so the work suits a fixed weekly rhythm. Stranmillis owners live beside the Lagan towpath and Botanic Gardens, the Ballyhackamore and Ormeau Road patches fill lunchtime slots for office workers, and Holywood adds weekend demand along the lough. Keep your slots consistent and the same names come back week after week.
