On the subject of castles

Dunluce Castle, Co Antrim

This was my local castle- I have been trying to figure out some new software for dealing with my back catalogue of photographs and came across this pic from years back – not much photoshop on it other than levels – the sun was setting so the castle walls had that reddy glow off them, there was some more scaffolding on the walls to the left, but i removed any that was against the sky.

Causeway Coast

Some neglecting of my blog of late, and apologies for that but I was back home recently and went as usual to the Giants Causeway – couple of pics here

Errigal

Errigal is 751m, its in the Derryveagh range of mountains and it is a pretty distinctive lump of rock in the middle of donegal.

There is a new carpark there and the it starts quite high so not very challenging but very very boggy at the bottom – also incredibley windy – beautiful views tho.

I recorded the walk we did and it can be downloaded here

the drive from derrybeg to ballyliffin was recorded as well…. here… i’m not too sure why….

NOTE: You may need to right-click and ’save-as’ for those links to work…

Mayo, Sligo, Donegal

A trip over for Gavins wedding in Donegal, we took the van and toured around the NW of Ireland for a week – Weather as you might expect meant no climbing on Achill island which was disapointing but some good days out on the hills anyway, taking in Benbulbin and Croagh Patrick along the way.
