I wish my tent had been freer – freer of water basically. Instead it looked like this – with a swamp at the entrance.
Fortunately we had an answer – the mighty mop demonstrated here by Theresa
Luckily, we did get a little sun and that saw us over at Giant`s Causeway
The weather had an undoubted effect on attendance but I think most people had a good time despite the rain. Ireland, or at least the parts I saw is very beautiful with large areas of unspoilt countryside and very friendly people. The roads are not especially good and I would love to go back with the F800GS under me as it would cope much better with the potholes I encountered.
This is Doe castle – I think the tide is out!
This is somewhere along “Atlantic Drive”, on Ros Guill adjacent to Mulroy Bay
It was a hell of a long ride to Donegal where the Treffen was held. We rode to Holyhead, ferried across to Dublin and carried on to Stranorlar where the event was held – 500 miles in total and the ferry was a 3 and a half hour trip. We arrived on site at about 9pm, having left the house at 04:30 that morning. Needless to say, putting the tent up in the rain after such along day was not an experience I would like to repeat!
