Wednesday 17th August. Carrickfergus.
Nomad is here for the next 11 nights. It is slightly cheaper than Bangor marina.
Walton Backwaters to Lowestoft.
What a funny house! Sinister looking nuclear test site buildings. and ultra long wave radio masts. This will be the first place to get it if Putin decides to strike back. Thorpness. And another funny looking house.
Bangor to Carrickfergus must have been a bit busy; like crossing the channel (Steve)
ReplyDeleteIt's a very narrow dredged channel so easy to cross.
DeleteThat was a marathon trip Brendan. How long did it take from Androssen to Bangor? Do you have a friend living by Lough Erne? Maybe I'm thinking of someone else. Anyway, hope you're resting up now.
ReplyDelete11 nights will be expensive. Do you get special rates? Hope so. How's the weather?
ReplyDeleteYou can see Scotland from here but it took 12 hours. There's no getting away from the expense.
DeleteWell done on the voyage, Brendan. I had no idea where Carrickfergus was, but I have always loved this haunting melody about the place. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJMggxSzxM4
ReplyDeleteVery familiar tune, I didn't know it was called Carrickfergus.
DeleteCarrickfergus, one of Finbarr's favourites and played at his funeral
DeleteI didn´t know that either about being one of Finbarr´s favourites. Thanks for that, Madeleine.
