Day 92
Giant's Causeway
April 9, 2023 in Northern Ireland ⋅ 🌧 12 °C
Dunseverick, County Antrim, Nordirland

Unsere erste Station in Nordirland waren die Giant's Causeway. Bei der Suche nach einem Stellplatz in der Nähe hatten wir Glück, da bereits der zweite Platz noch frei war und wir trotz Osterwochenende nicht lange herumfahren mussten.

Da Marion bei unserem Kurzaufenthalt in der Schweiz noch zwei Osterhasen gekauft hat, konnten wir den Ostersonntag mit der Suche nach dem Osternest beginnen, dabei versteckte Marion den Hasen deutlich besser als ich😊 gefunden haben wir ihn aber zum Glück beide. Nach einem ausgiebigen Brunch machten wir uns auf den Weg entlang der Küste und sowohl das Wetter (abgesehen vom starken Wind) als auch die Aussicht war super. Einen Grossteil der gut 2-stündigen Wanderung waren wir allein unterwegs, erst als wir zum eigentlichen Highlight kamen, merkten wir den grossen Besucherandrang, trotzdem konnten wir einen guten Blick auf die Basaltsäulen werfen und der Ausflug hat sich gelohnt. Kurz bevor der Regen einsetzte, nahmen wir den Bus zurück zum Campingplatz und da wir den schnellsten Busfahrer Nordirlands hatten, erreichten wir den Camper noch vor den ersten Regentropfen.

Am Montag fuhren wir bereits weiter nach Belfast, damit wir pünktlich unseren Besuch aus den USA (Joe Biden) empfangen können😂. Dabei machten wir noch einen Zwischenhalt bei den Dark Hedges, welche auf den Bildern und in der Serie "Game of Thrones" deutlich eindrucksvoller und mystischer aussehen (vielleicht da die Bäume keine Blätter trugen). Trotzdem ist die Allee schön anzusehen. Die nächsten Tage werden wir in der Hauptstadt von Nordirland verbringen.Read more

Day 3
Dunseverick Castle
October 12, 2016 in Northern Ireland ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C
Not much of a castle these days but what's left is in a pretty spectacular place. We managed to climb up without too much complaining and spent a while enjoying the views and the T-shirt weather (!) At the top. But not too close to the edge!Read more

Day 3
Causeway Coastal Route
May 9, 2018 in Northern Ireland ⋅ 9 °C
Today we drive on the „Causeway coastal route“.
Here i only see greeeeeen! There are just giant green meadows with the typical yellow bushes (Gorse) many sheep and cows, some fisher villages, beautiful coastline and the sea.
And the many stone walls which are just aso long as you can see!
The streets were sometimes very narrow and the landscape is really impressive, i love it!Read more

Day 11
A Giant Step…..but of the Mythical kind
May 12, 2022 in Northern Ireland ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
Up early, brekky sorted and bike packed ready to start by 9.20, 10 mins early (!) unheard of! for us anyway. We don’t have an OS standard map so it was time to put the destination into Gavster the Garmin and give it its head to sort the route. It’s supposed to route via cycle friendly roads and tracks but, like all these devices, it can sometimes get adventurous, go through farm yards etc. we only decided to ignore Gavvy once on the way there and arrived on time only to see a number of coaches parked and arriving in the car park….a cruise ship was in apparently. Still, the Giant’s Causeway is a big place, the clue is in the name, and, whilst it wasn’t a spiritual moment with that number of people, it was an enjoyable walk from the visitor centre to the stones with the commentary from the headset.
Back to the visitor centre to get the picnic out of the pannier and just as we sat down at the picnic table, we were the only ones due to the cold, wind and now rain, so we decamped into a corner of the cafe and bought 2 teas and continued with our picnic there. Good job we’d brought the picnic as there signs everywhere apologising for restricted choice and slow service due to reduced number of staff.
We abandoned our provisional plan to go on to the Carrick Rope Bridge because we’d spent more time at the causeway and slightly influenced by the rain showers and having to cycle into wind most of the way home. So we donned waterproofs and set off.
On the way home we saw the other end of the track we’d chosen to avoid on the way there, it didn’t look too bad so we chanced it. A bit rough but ok until we came to a 10 yard section that was flooded right across! A quick inspection, one side didn’t look as deep as the other so, ignoring the fact that puddles are only flat on top, we ploughed through and didn’t even get our feet wet, well not enough to get in our shoes.
Once home it was kettle on for a “nice cup of tea” and a warm up, bike away and checking the route for tomorrow when we move on to another site on the “Wild Atlantic Way”.Read more
