North coast of N. Ireland
This is a top pick! ... with some serious history in Derry, we decided to take in a little more nature on our way to our next stop of Ballycastle. We headed for the Giants Causeway on the north coast. The causeway is comprised of over 38,000 hexagonal columns that geologists ...
Happy Eurovision Day
Not much news to report - running the hostel is fun, and everyone thinks I'm lovely for staying on and helping out. I went to Derry last weekend for a few days, which happened to coincide with Irish weather reverting to autumn rather than spring. I will ...
The Antrim Coastal Road (Rockstar Style)
... were staying the night. We were advised to get food before we arrived as there wasn't much there (understatement!), so we stopped in Ballycastle, the nearest town. Now this was a Friday night, yet it was pretty dead. I don't know if Northern Irish people ...
St Briony of Ballycastle
... . Anyway, despite such grave injustices such as these, you will be pleased to know that I'm continuing on bravely, and am in Ballycastle which is up on the northern coast of Northern Ireland. I'd only planned to stay two nights but the lady who runs ...
Hop on the Tourist Train
Shot out of camping hell just as soon as we could (but not before 9am as that was when the office opened so we could get our deposit $ back from the bathroom key). Couldn't even manage to wash the breaky dishes as I didn't want to walk 5min to pay for ...
The North #2
Ballycastle would probably be a pretty quite seaside town for much of the year, but being mid-summer it was very busy when we arrived. After checking our bags into our hostel, which was right on the town's popular main beach, we walked along the water ...
Rathlin Island
... due to work commitments. I, however, took the train as far as Portrush and then cycled along the north coast to Ballycastle. That trip alone actually deserves three or four days although it is only about 30 miles. The road passes through Bushmills, ...
The beautiful northern coast
... is more of a horse or zebra than a dog. Massive weird noises when he yawns and just suspect full stop. We went to Ballycastle beach which was beautiful, high crashing waves, clear air, sand, stones, rocks and a view of Raithlin Island plus Scotland way ...
Our Route In Ireland
Leaving Ireland Tomorrow Morning For Scotland - the Kintyre Peninsula. Here's our route through Ireland. ...
Giant's Causeway
AMAZING!! I was not prepared to witness something so magnificant, so huge from such a small country. I did a 5 hour hike all along the coast, most of which with my jaw on the grass. So ...

Here a video we made after cycling in Ireland for just over two weeks. We got lost a lot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJX1lbRgTtg ...
Derry to Ballycastle
We started by visiting Dunluce Castle – it was pretty crap, but at least we didn't pay to get into it. Next was the Bushmills Whiskey Distillery tour, which we had to wait an hour for, so we walked around the Bushmills town. That took 15 minutes, ...
Videos of Ireland
We're well into our Scotland cycle, but here's a few clips from our cycle around the Emerald Isle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuf03C1fMmQ We're having a grand time, and think everyone should do what we're doing. Seems quite a few people are - ...
We know why it is called The Emerald Isle
It wasn't a very long drive from Belfast to Ballycastle, but it was a gorgeous coastal road that we took, and Bern drove almost the whole way - officially on fire with the manual driving now!! The road we took hugged the coast nicely, with cute seaside ...
hmmm where to go?
... my many stress buster ways of getting through them was taking myself up the country to my Dad's place in County Antrim called Ballycastle a very quiet resort town by the sea where I could revise in peace without my two younger brothers distracting me from ...
Off To Scotland - Or Not
... We poked around on the isle for three quarters of an hour and then returned to the bikes and cycled the rest of the way to Ballycastle. We arrived at 2pm and settled into a cafe for 4 hours before the ferry to Scotland. Around 5:30pm, we headed for ...
There are sheep outside my bedroom window.
I've been lax about updating, sorry. I was about to the day we left Belfast to come here, to Ballycastle and Corrymeela, but ran out of time. This past week or so has been a breeze and had a lot of ups and of course, a few downs. So much has happened ...
