Omey And Coney islands...

[Buttso]

Having seen pics before from Jimmys run up there, we fancied a look ourselves
so with fingers crossed for good weather myself and my buddy Dave headed west

This is road out with the tide gone..

there is a nice grass area along the sea front of the island which you can
ride on, its a little slick but allows you to explore

leaving the island we headed north via Connemara national park, beautiful part of the world.. it really is..

Headed back to Galway for few beers and a pizza in fat freddies..
then hit the road to Sligo the next morning

Stopping for a look at strandhill beach.

then we hit over to Coney Island, best time is 2-3 hours before low tide from what I read up on and it worked out perfect..

Coney island is a great spot, nice pub over there too. Just don't go there in the height of summer Was never over in Omey though, will have to give that a go. Cheers.

SALT WATER & SAND . .

. . great combo for ruinous corrosion & bearing disintegration. Just park the bike & walk over,
it ain't that far.

Looks pretty much like what I was at in the car last time I went over to Coney Just have to watch out for those feckin huge concrete markers.
