Drumaheglis to Binion Bay

A rather grey looking day and we only had 60 ish miles to travel so had a leisurely start and did some “housework” of the van, plus coffee break before leaving at 12 on the dot, the stated departure deadline.

A pleasant journey through some rural and forested areas plus bypass around Londonderry then onto the quiet and sometimes narrow roads of the Inishowen Peninsula.

We followed the satnav but were perplexed when we reached the destination as all we could see was a row of static vans with a narrow strip of concrete in front of them. The jolly Irish site owner turned up in a car behind us and said this was it - follow me!! We proceeded to navigate our way down the narrow path until we came to a gravel pitch, again site own said follow me exactly (walking this time) which we did and with some nifty moves got ourselves into position.
Very rural views of hills, farm houses, gorse etc. When a new Irish neighbour arrived we had a few electricity problems with the power tripping out but negotiated a “peace agreement” of us both sticking to only using 5 amps each.Read more
