Operation Emerald Escape

[Von Stolberg]

Day 6

This starts with a breakfast that would kill a Gazelle pilot.

presumably this equates to an anorexic snack , compared to a Chinook driver?

A chinook driver wouldn't accept a 4 star hotel

And the Gazelle would exceed MTOW if the pilot had more than a pain au chocolate.

Nae idea how I've missed this and this is a to do list item.

I've got a question though, why south first and not north ?

I was thinking of headjng north from Belfast.

Anyway

Having had Brunchinner we head out and make our way generally North then west looking to pick up the WA road.

Passing Mullaghmore I have a recall moment.

I visited years ago to see the site of Mountbattens assassination.

Not dwelling on that, let’s pin it to Donegal for a brew


Keep it dirty side down troops.....

Hi mate. Purely because the weather looked better turning left in Belfast rather than right

It gets better too ......

100 pc worth a visit.

So we pass through Donegal and nowhere jumps out at us for a brew so crack onto the coast road heading west.

Amazing views again on our left, I see a sign for Killybeg which sounds quite nice, lets give that a go.

The road there is fab.

On arrival in village we bimble about then happen upon a real treat. CM Loones.

Lovely cafe and deli right on harbour.

And its sunny, and it has a table outside, and I get to do my David Brent impersonation.

A good stop for sure.....

Yes indeed......

Tracy is very lucky I guess

Anyway........ onwards......

The Wild Atlantic doo dah beckons....

So off we roar.

It would be fair to say that this stretch was fantastic.

Zero traffic.

Great weather (not so wild)

Great roads.

We include a blast through the Glenveagh National Park, very nice too.

Having a great time, bike runs a dream, so much so that I hardly took any photos.

We find a small harbour and stop for lunch.

At same time I book a hotel just this side of Londonderry, looks good and again great value.

Im looking forward to being in NI again as I know it well, oh and we can have coffee inside

This area is a must do, I rate it better than the NC 500 personally.

 

[Deleted account 210901001]

Not a bad spot for lunch.

No barrier so just rode right to water

 

[Deleted account 210901001]

Due to Covid restrictions indoor dining is not allowed.

However the Irish government have specially erected miles of 'covid safe' benches you can rest up on.

View not bad either.

 

[Deleted account 210901001]

Great area.

Will be doing an “Arnie” for sure

Oh behind us you can just about see the tiny harbour we have lunch at

(See photo above with Tracy getting sprayed). Ooh suit you ma'am

Bit of Klim porn for those lonely lock down nights.......
