      Dunluce Castle and white Rocks

      Ayer, Irlanda del Norte ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

      Vorweg: Nein, es gibt keine Fotos von zwei "heavily drunken" Germans nach der Bushmills Experience. Wie haben beim Vorbeifahren nur ein Foto gemacht. 50 £ ca 70 €(pro Person ) sind uns der Destillenrundgang mit Verkostung nicht wert. Und die Flasche Bushmills gibt's zu Hause mindestens ein Drittel günstiger, so long. Grüße aus Oban!
      Wir sind auf einem 5* Camping gelandet, alles perfekt, sogar Musik auf dem Klo.
      Den Giant's Causway wollen wir morgen anschauen, es ist Wochenende und viel los. Also radeln wir Richtung Küste, und klar, es geht wieder auf und ab. Dazu haben wir ein verrücktes Licht zwischen Sonne und Nebel, fast ein bisschen mystisch. Wir kommen an die Steilküste zum Dunluce Castle, das auf der Klippe thront und gigantische Ausblicke ermöglicht.
      Wir fahren noch ein Stück die White Cliffs entlang, aber die hüllen sich mehr und mehr im Nebel ein.
      Wir haben die Lidl German Currywurstsauce getestet....
      Na ja, und überlebt 😋🙃🤔      Leer más

      Goodbye England

      18 de mayo, Inglaterra ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

      The Dock of the Bay - Otis Redding
      C'est déjà le départ... Nous devons retourner en France... Mais pas avant une dernière journée anglaise! Nous prenons le train (non ce n'est pas de la triche) au départ de la capitale britannique jusqu'à Brighton, pour profiter de la ville et du bord de la Manche avant de rentrer. Nous flanons dans les rues accompagnés par des fresques, des echopes sympathiques et une ambiance vibrante. Nous nous baladons jusqu'à la jetée, ou nous faisons un passage à l'arcade où je suis contractuellement obligé de vous informer que Solenn m'a défoncé au basket. Après s'être reposés sur la plage, nous allons visiter le Pavillon de Georges IV. Ce fut assez divertissant d'entendre pendant 1h à quel point Georges IV était gros, tout en observant son palais très raffiné...
      Après avoir pris une collation, nous reprenons le train (toujours pas de la triche) jusqu'à Newhaven pour prendre le ferry du retour. Ça fait un certain effet de revoir le débarcadère dans l'autre sens, ça rappelle beaucoup de souvenirs de notre premier jour de vélo anglais qui semble maintenant tellement lointain...
      Demain, nous serons de retour en France et déjà en route vers la Suisse, mais pas avant une dernière étape culinaire...      Leer más

      Fife Coast Road

      18 de mayo, Escocia ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

      We only had 80km to travel today, so took the scenic route via the Fife Coast Road.

      First stop was St Andrews, the home of golf. It's remarkably open and easy to access the famous Old Course, even allowing spectators to walk across the 18th fairway between groups. It's open to the public to play a round, but can't be booked - players must enter a lottery, and pay the green fee if they are successful - currently £320 ($600) 😮

      The rest of the coast road was unremarkable, passing through many villages, but with very few views of the coast, so we didn't make any stops until Aberdour, our destination for the night.

      We walked around town in bright sunshine, stopping for ice-cream in the main street. We visited St Fillans Church (built in the 1100's), who claim that Robert the Bruce, who was a leper, visited the church to give thanks after the Battle of Bannockburn. He did so through the leper squint, a vertical slot cut into the outside wall to allow lepers to see the service without mixing with the rest of the congregation.

      Next door is Aberdour Castle, thought to be the oldest standing castle in Scotland (also built in the 1100's). The west side of the castle is ruined, but the east side is remarkably intact.

      After checking into our hotel, our late afternoon drive took us to St Bridget's Church, a ruined medieval church with views across the bay to Edinburgh, then onto Silver Sands, the most popular swimming beach in town.      Leer más

      Acanthite

      17 de mayo, Inglaterra ⋅ ⛅ 50 °F

      We spent our last day in Cornwall on Judith and Snowy's beautiful estate of Acanthtite. After only 15 years, they have turned an empty field and mine ruins into a beautiful home with stunning gardens. Over the past week, they have showed us the hidden side of Cornwall. We already look forward to their next visit to Ridgway!Leer más

      Ell of a good time

      17 de mayo, Escocia ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

      We farewelled Pitlochry at our usual time of 9am, meandering south for the next few days, back towards Edinburgh.

      First stop was Dunkeld, one of the most complete 18th-century towns in Scotland, having been almost entirely rebuilt after most of the original town was destroyed during the Battle of Dunkeld in 1689.

      We did a cache-guided walking tour of the town, visiting the cathedral, riverfront and market square. Close to the market square is the Ell Shop (1757), which has an ell-stick attached to one corner, once used to measure cloth and other commodities in the marketplace. An ell is a now obsolete unit of measure which was mainly used in the tailoring business, and was originally the distance from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger. To standardise it, Edward I of England required that every town have one official ell-stick, and Dunkeld's is still on display.
      (the word ell literally means "arm", and survives in the form of the word "elbow" (arm-bend)).

      Lunch was in a cafe in the village of Spittalfield, before continuing on to Dundee for the night.

      We drove up to the highest point of the city, known as Dundee Law. (law is Scottish for hill). It has a large war memorial at it's peak and provides panoramic 360 degree views of the city and waterfront.      Leer más

      To Pitlochry

      16 de mayo, Escocia ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

      We departed Fort William after a visit to the supermarket and a couple of caches, on the road to Pitlochry for the night.

      Our first stop was Spean Bridge, and the Commando Memorial. It was a popular stop for the tour buses, and had the obligatory busking bagpiper setting the mood.

      Next stop was Cille Choirill, a 15th-century Roman Catholic church situated in Roy Bridge, a picturesque setting on the side of a hill overlooking Glen Spean.

      We stopped for lunch at the local pub and were the only patrons in the bar.

      We arrived in Pitlochry around 3pm, checked into our hotel and walked down the hill into town to visit the dam and fish ladder.

      The fish ladder is a series of 34 pools over 310 metres which allow the salmon to travel upstream during breeding season, bypassing the dam.

      Dinner was at a local cafe, before the walk back to our hotel.      Leer más

      Barmouth > Llanedwen - 110km

      11 de mayo, Gales ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

      Au réveil, première vérification : est-ce qu’il y a encore des midges à l’extérieur de la tente ? Malheureusement la réponse est oui. Nous plions le camp en 2 temps 3 mouvements et partons à la recherche d’un endroit pour petit-déjeuner tranquille. Premier stop, toujours des midges… Deuxième stop, nous sommes chanceux, en bord de mer avec du vent (donc pas de midges car elles ne peuvent pas voler sereinement) !
      Nous sommes sur le pont ferroviaire qui enjambe l’avancée de mer dans les terres entre Arthog et Barmouth, la vue est splendide et le soleil est au beau fixe encore une fois.

      Une fois le ventre plein pour bien commencer la journée, nous partons à vélo découvrir la petite cité balnéaire de Barmouth, très photogénique au pied de falaises rocailleuses. Nous longeons ensuite le bord de mer avec ses longues plages de sable fin et commençons ensuite à prendre de la hauteur pour admirer de loin les montagnes de Snowdonia et le mont le plus haut du Pays-de-Galles, le mont Snowdon (seulement 1085m mais quand même).
      Nous redescendons ensuite vers la côte et nous nous arrêtons admirer les châteaux des villes de Cricieth et Caernafon, dans laquelle une journée très festive bat son plein avec son lot d’anglais bien alcoolisés.
      Nous rejoignons ensuite l’île d’Anglesey en traversant un beau pont suspendu avec structure métallique de type Eiffel. Nous nous rendons compte par hasard que nous passons par la ville avec le nom le plus long en Europe : Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. Bonne chance pour la prononciation !

      Ensuite, objectif de cette fin de journée : trouver un spot de bivouac par nous-mêmes. Projet un peu ambitieux car il est déjà presque 20h et les endroits que nous avions identifiés sur Google Maps sont tous inaccessibles ou privés. Nous commençons à tourner, la nuit tombe petit à petit. En passant dans un hameau proche d’une ferme, 3 gallois en train de boire des coups et de profiter de leur samedi soir nous interpellent : après quelques échanges l’un des trois nous propose son pré à quelques mètres pour camper. Même s’il faut faire attention aux quelques bouses de vaches qui parsèment l’endroit, nous acceptons. Il passera même nous voir en quad une heure plus tard pour s’assurer que tout va bien !

      Walking Wednesday

      15 de mayo, Escocia ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

      Back to sunny days with 24 degrees forecast, so it's shorts out again!

      We had a full day around Fort William, so we began with a walk along a section of the West Highland Way, a 96 mile walking trail from Glasgow to Fort William. The section we walked was along the Old Military Road and was the site of the Battle of Inverlochy (1645), one of the many battles between Highlanders and Royalist troops.

      We headed back into town for lunch in the High Street (soup and a Scotch pie, while watching a busking bagpiper). We visited the West Highland Museum and browsed the shops, before heading towards Glen Nevis for the afternoon.

      Glen Nevis is a valley near Ben Nevis (the highest mountain in the UK), and the most popular walking track is along the gorge to Steall Waterfall, the second tallest waterfall in the UK at 120 metres. It's a 3.5 km walk along uneven terrain, so took us an hour to walk in, and about 45 minutes out, with a steady stream of walkers going in both directions.      Leer más

      St. Michael's Mount

      15 de mayo, Inglaterra ⋅ ⛅ 55 °F

      With history and legends of mermaids and apparitions of St. Michael, dating back to 495AD this castle and the surrounding gardens were a must see! During low tide you can walk across the causeway to the island, but today's visit was during high tide so luckily there are ferry boats available to shuttle us back and forth. After walking through this amazing castle, we toured gardens that were planted in 1887.Leer más

      Brompton on Swale to Ingleby Cross

      15 de mayo, Inglaterra ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

      This is the longest day I have to hike on this trip. I had shortened it by 7 km by walking longer yesterday but it was still a punishing 30 km of walking flat on roads and through some incredibly muddy paths. Very poorly posted. There was no drying room at the Frenchgate hotel and the newspaper didn't cut it to dry out the boots so I ended up hiking in wet boots that got wetter as the day progressed. I developed blisters on the planter aspect of my fourth toes. I will try the trail runners tomorrow. My right trapezius is also bothering me. Despite the long walk today I did enjoy myself. Beautiful churches in Bolton on Swale and Denby Wiske. Some very friendly domestic animals which all seem very intent on smelling me. I finally saw Highland cattle in Northern England of all places. The craziest thing at the end of the day was having to run across a significant two lane highway the size of the QE2. It was the only way across. There was a service station nearby and I asked if there was any safer way and there wasn't. The teller's advice was to wait for a break and run to the median. Madness just madness. Probably the most dangerous part of the whole trip. I am staying at the Blue Bell Inn where I met up with Nick the school teacher that I met on my way to Keld. We had an early dinner and are both turning in for an early night.Leer más
