Motorcycle Touring : Irelands Wild Atlantic Way Pdf, Epub, Ebook
MOTORCYCLE TOURING : IRELANDS WILD ATLANTIC WAY PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Chris Hardy | 146 pages | 07 Jan 2020 | Independently Published | 9781653539611 | English | none Motorcycle Touring : Irelands Wild Atlantic Way PDF Book On these very narrow roads you will often come around a blind corner only to face a coach taking up the whole bloody road. From here the R coast road will progressively run riot on your optic nerves as it runs high along the cliffs above Lough Swilly before dropping back down to Portsalon Beach on Ballymastocker Bay. I can download the GPX data from here but not sure which maps to use. The mountain route via the Gap of Dunloe seems cool. The deposit is non-refundable, if the booking is cancelled. Visit Killarney town and soak up the atmosphere. This range of 12 peaks dramatically rises out over the numerous lakes and flat bog land that sweeps down to the golden beaches of the coastline. The Irish love to talk to foreigners or strangers and can happily strike up a conversation with a lamp post. May 7, at pm. Overall Route Rating. Hi Dennis, no gate any more to Slieve League Cliffs just ride straight on up, looks like the road has been resurfaced recently. I recommend a circular route around Inishowen starting from Greencastle taking in Malinhead, Mamore gap and Inch island and then returning on the R with the views of Lough Foyle on your right shoulder. Inishowen to Belfast via Coastal causeway route. Location This motorcycle tour will take place in various locations in Ireland. Saturday 14th August miles : Number of route choices today, but I would recommend starting the day with one of my favourites, the Beara Peninsular.

Irish Rare Bird Report 2011 2011 Irish Rare Bird Report IRBC Introduction
Tom Shevlin Tom 2011 13th November Wicklow. Head, Co. Desert Bray Wheatear, Irish Rare Bird Report 2011 2011 Irish Rare Bird Report IRBC Introduction From 2000 to 2010, twenty-two species were added to the Irish list - an average of two per year, and 2011 maintained that average. The two species added were a White-winged Scoter Melanitta deglandi stejnegeri (Kerry) in March that subsequently transpired to have been present since February and a Pallid Harrier Circus macrourus (Cork) in April. The latter species became one of the signature birds of 2011 as an autumn influx also provided the second to fifth records (Wexford, Galway and Cork). The second Semipalmated Plover Charadrius semipalmatus (Kerry) and third Hudsonian Whimbrel Numenius hudsonicus (Cork) were found in September. The fourth Great Reed Warbler Acrocephalus arundinaceus (Wexford) was found in May and a Red-necked Stint Calidris ruficollis (Kerry), also the fourth for Ireland, in August. An influx of four Desert Wheatear Oenanthe deserti (Wicklow, Dublin and Waterford) provided the fifth to eighth records. Rare sub-species recorded during the year included the third Northern Harrier Circus cyaneus hudsonius (Wexford) in October. The report also contains details of some headline rarities from earlier years. A record of Pacific Diver Gavia pacifica (Galway) in January 2009 becomes the first record for Ireland and is considered likely to have involved the same individual subsequently found nearby in 2010 (Irish Birds 9: 288). Two records of Blyth’s Reed Warbler Acrocephalus dumetorum, in October 2009 (Mayo) and October 2010 (Cork), were the fourth and fifth records. Also recorded for the fifth time were an Arctic Redpoll Carduelis hornemanni (Mayo) in May 2008, a Solitary Sandpiper Tringa solitaria (Mayo) and Marsh Warbler Acrocephalus palustris (Cork) in September 2009 and a Yellow-breasted Bunting Emberiza aureola (Cork) in October 2010.
