    First night in prison

    6. juli 2016, Irland ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    Trains from Huddersfield to Manchester then to Liverpool South Park. Reaching John Lennon airport is perfectly doable by public transport.

    Flight to Cork then a quick transfer to Cobh to catch a little ferry to Spike Island.

    There are abandoned 19th C prison blocks within the walls of the old fort but thankfully our accommodation is fairly new - on top of an old block.

    Last evening in Spike Island : taking a collective trip round the moat and to visit one of the naval guns guarding the entrance to Cork Harbour.

    Other shots: finding the grave cut for a burial and an evening stroll along the river Nore in Kilkenny.Læs mere
