A bicycle is a great way to explore a country. Be it here, there or anywhere. It can be challenging and demanding at times but there is nothing to be proven and if you have the time, you can explore a little more. This book is about the travelling done from the north of Ireland to the south of Ireland on the east coast and then on the west coast. I didn’t see everything nor was I travelling to see everything, there may be some places that I visited that may not be included on an itinerary. This is 40 days around Ireland. This is Ireland, but not all the island has to offer.
Scotland; What a country! Being from the North of Ireland, there is fairly easy access to the country via the ferry service which departs from Belfast several times a day and with a bicycle; arrive, follow their instructions, load the bicycle and take a seat. Arrive, and well, the road network is fairly simple, once out of the terminal there are two choices; right or left, north or south. Part One of this jaunt I chose the left and ended up in Wick, North-East of the country... Could have gone further but was a Friday; heavy traffic on the single carriageway. Part Two, I took a right and followed the Scottish border to the capital; Edinburgh via Dumfries and small villages until destination reached. Part Three, Edinburgh to Aberdeen – where I left the bicycle in for a service and the MicroSD card fragmented hence minimal photographs. Part Four, I returned to Aberdeen and made my way back to Wick. Stunning landscapes throughout. Would recommend the West coast of Scotland as a cycle. Right from the port, stunning views all over. Some inclines scattered throughout but once you move over them, fairly powerful coasting from there. This is Ireland in Scotland.
