Oct 8–9, 2024 in Scotland ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
Great Cumbrae island is a glorious cycle circuit at 10 miles. Scenic, flat, empty roads and the bonus of a wee boatie trip
TravelerYes - we all just luv the Costa del Largs. Enjoy 😀❤️

Down through Troon and cuppa with Rognvald. Visit Burns cottage, which was as underwhelming as 50 odd years ago when visited with Nana and Grandpa.

Glorious driving for miles up Antrim coast. Very Top Gear, without the tedium of speed. Magnificent walk through Glenariff forest waterfall trail. On northwards to Torr Head, the closest point to Scotland(Mull of Kintyre). Just jump it Finn McCool.Read more

Modern phenomenon: if you forget your phone, have you really been to a tourist destination? Arrived early, had place to self, which was fantastic, but had been rushing so much to make sure I did, that forgot the evidence provider. Gave in and went back to get it. Arrived again just as the first bus was arriving to spew out the coach tripping hordesRead more

The Troubles
Oct 13–14, 2024 in Ireland ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C
History in one's own life time is truly fascinating. Throughout my youth "The Troubles' was there, always on the news, a scary, scary place. Its scar is left on Derry, now a vibrant, safe, interesting city. I did a wee museum dander, then went off on a cycle. Sobering. At one point, I found myself in a dead end with 20' high fences all around, kerb stones and lamp posts painted red, white and blue. A screaming loyalist area. I felt uneasy. It must have been shit back then for your average punter.Read more

What a stunning coastline. Couple nights in van, couple nights in Seashell Cabin. Met a kindred spirit in Scarlet (owner), great chats and plan to stay in touch. She is an artist, musician, teaches yoga, and loves her van too. Wonderful.Read more

Big cliffs & a fuzzy bay
October 17, 2024 in Ireland ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C
Slieve Leag cliffs are spectac. Much better than Cliffs of Moher. And you're only paying for parking and not a naff 'visitor centre'. Gather oh visitors while we centre you and sell you overpriced pretendy-non-tat. Bolx to that.Read more

Ruger & Mistymorn cottage
Oct 18–28, 2024 in Ireland ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
10 days sitting for Ruger, 2nd time round. He is just the best companion. He's well trained and great off lead, SO calm, plods along at a pace that's perfect for me. And he has the funniest quirks that make me laugh often.
The house is kept at constant 20° so the weather is something that happens outside, not blowing through nooks and crannies inside.
Just all very relaxing.
Oh..and there's a hot tub...Read more
