Counties Donegal und Sligo (Westküste) – 2.+3.7.2023
We left Northern Ireland behind us for good, and arrived at the west coast of Ireland, in County Donegal. It was very very windy in Rossnowlagh / Crossmore!

Cuilcagh Lakelands Global Geopark – 1.7.2023
This geopark straddles the border between Northern Ireland and Ireland. This photo is not clear enough, but on the Internet it would be readable: General map Geopark 😉 Der Geopark liegt beidseits der Grenze von Nordirland und Irland. Dieses Foto ist nicht wirklich lesbar, aber im Internet wäre es zu finden unter: Übersicht Geopark 😉…
Marble Arch Caves – 30.6.2023
The weather wasn’t very good, so the day was just right for a visit to the caves. Das Wetter war nicht sehr gut, also ideal für einen Besuch in einer Höhle. The Marble Arch Caves are part of a geopark. The caves were first explored in 1895. People initially thought it was marble, hence the…

Silent Valley / Galloon Island – 28.6.2023
After breakfast we drove south, along the coast. The roads were quite wet in parts. The first stop was in Newcastle. We had a lovely cup of coffee at the „Railway Station“. Lidl is in an unusual building for a shop! Nach dem Morgenessen fuhren wir der Küste entlang gegen Süden. Die Strassen waren streckenweise…
Gretna Green (Scotland) / Cairnryan / Larne (Northern Ireland) / Whitehead / Grey Abbey / Strangford – 26.+27.6.2023
We left Barrow in the afternoon, driving straight to Scotland. In Gretna Green we had a break. It’s a famous place: in the old days underaged couples from England went to get married there, because in Scotland it wasn’t necessary to have parental consens to get married, but in England it was. Gretna Green is…
Hawkshead / Tarn Hows – 24.6.2023
To give us a break from working, we decided on a trip to Tarn Hows. We’ve been there before, but it’s been ages, and always worth a visit. We drove past Newby Bridge and first had a break in Hawkshead. Zur Auflockerung unserer Arbeiten entschieden wir uns für einen Ausflug nach Tarn Hows. Wir waren…
Windemere – 19.6.2023
Due to the weather forecast we decided to do Kurt’s birthday trip a day early. First we drove to Lakeside by car. There is a stream train that runs from Haverthwaite to Lakeside, as a tourist attraction, but we did that already another year. Aufgrund der Wettervorhersage entschieden wir uns, Kurt’s Geburtstagsfahrt einen Tag früher…
Farfield Mill / Barrrow-in-Furness / Grange-over-Sands / Beetham Garden Centre – 10.-25.6.2023
Our main destination in the north of the UK was Barrow-in-Furness in the Lake District. A dear friend of ours lives there. We also met family that I haven’t seen for many many years – it was great to see them again! On the way to Barrow we first drove through the Yorkshire Dales. On…
