I left Oban in miserable conditions with a heavy rain warning in Glasgow which was on my route south. So I stuck to the main roads. Visibilty is the main problem. The rain gets on the helmet lens, and the cold causes fogging up, so I have to open the lens, the for clears but the rain comes in on my glasses so I have two waterfalls to peer through. Not so much fun !
However I made the ferry and again met some local bikers who had been to the GP in Brno a city I had recently passed through on the ride from China. Onother disappointing city on the Goat riders trip.
So they gave me the heads up on where to go and so I did. Up the coast to the Giants causeway. Legend has it that the giant built it to get between Scotland and Ireland however what it is, is a dramatic site with some very interesting stone formations formed after volcanic eruptions. It is the great attraction of Northern Ireland. Sadly I made it in diminished light but I hope I got a feel of how pretyy the site is. I moved on in the dark to Portrush for a miserable night in a B+B and fish and chips for dinner which were poor as well. Never mind it was a most varied and interesting day.

About Me
- Kris Kent
- Travel it is said broadens the mind, so I set off to explore. To this traveler it seems the world changed at the turn of this century and has deteriorated rapidly since. So unless the trend is reversed the world will become unsafe not just for travelers, but for all of us. A new accountability, a new morality, is needed, no, demanded.
