Ride report from today's run round Donegal

[davidgibson999]

Took a wee run (291 miles) round Donegal - couple of places I wanted to see which I'd never been before i.e. Horn Head and Glencolumbkille (seem to be a couple of spellings of this place).
Headed off with Stuart on his VFR bright and early, headed straight for Letterkenny and had a lovely breakfast in Cafe Sienna (well worth a visit!)

Headed out the N14 past Ramelton and up towards Portsalon:

There's a beautiful set of downhill hairpins just before Portsalon:

Then the GPS took us down a few boreens which shook the teeth out of Stuart and his VFR:

Stopped on the pier at Portnablagh for a pee:

Horn Head:

Back on N56 - first time I've seen Errigal with no cloud:

Stopped at the Butter Rock Cafe for a lovely lunch in Dungloe. Then it was off to Ardara and out to Glencolumbkille:

Another pee stop:

A final coffee in Letterkenny and then home:

Good write up and pictures David, the twisty bit before Portsalon is the famous Knockalla Rally stage which is used every year in the Donegall Rally and a hill climb in September. The speed the cars go up it is impressive.
