We are on the road again and we are off to Clew Bay which is includes the Spanish Armada Viewpoint. This was named after two ships from the defeated Spanish Armada fleet sank here in storms in 1588 - you cannot see any ship wrecks, well let’s be honest they would have been long gone by now due to the time frame. However once again the vista (yes getting good with words) was stunning. I am going to have to think of other words to describe the vistas (see did it again, ha ha) as all I am using is stunning or amazing but what else can you say when they are. We then move on to Achill Island and over the Achill Sound with the bridge crossing it onto Keel Strand where we eye up ... read more

We start off quite early after having breakfast and first thing I do is take us down the wrong road - well you could say it was a road but if honest it was more like a cycle track. When it got really narrow I said I don’t think this can be a main road and you guessed it this was not a main road at all. However if honest it hugged the coastline more than the main road did and we did not meet any vehicles coming the other way, Yes and not even cycles. I wanted to see the waterfall and caves at Ardara but hey ho this is getting regular could I find them not at all. By the time we realised we had missed the turning to the caves we are following ... read more

Well last night we decided let’s not move on from this site for another night as it is so nice and clean and we can have showers and also can charge everything up as we will be off grid or wild camping on Thursday evening probably. Woke up to another glorious day and could hear a cuckoo bird which was lovely to be honest. Went to Fanad Head lighthouse today and decided that we would take the tour of the lighthouse which was a great decision especially as it only cost 10 euros each. I did not know that lighthouses now do not have a lighthouse man (okay let’s be PC lighthouse person or even keeper) any more, they are totally run by technology. Fanad Lighthouse is an iconic working lighthouse at the mouth of Louth ... read more

So the day started really well. We got up early as I wanted to go to Giants Causeway before the crowds descended. Well a tip for you here, if you do not want to go to the Visitor Centre you can go down to see the Giants Causeway free apart from parking which is free for National Trust members but doesn’t open until 9am - a bit late to miss the crowds. But you can park in one of the private car parks for £5 and then walk to the visitor centre and go through the arch and down to the Giants Causeway. We are members of the National Trust so we could park and go to the visitor centre free. Anyway as the visitor centre car park does not open until 9am this was definitely ... read more

Up early from the campsite in Wales to get the ferry over to Dublin and then onto Fivemiletown which is in the county of Tyrone. We had booked the lounge on the ferry as last time we took a ferry we struggled to get seats. If we had not booked the lounge this time I really do not think it would have been a problem if totally honest as it was relatively empty. When we drove the motorhome onto the ferry behind a big coach the gentleman started to tie the wheels down on our motorhome and the coach - this to me did not bode well as I thought they must think this is going to be a choppy ride for the next couple of hours. Thank goodness this was not the case and it ... read more
