Belfast, UK to Derry, UK. This trip was specially tailored to see the giants causeway, the 8th natural wonder of the world. A few hours in the car, we were there in overcast weather, but that didn't really matter. this place is amazing! Talk about snap happy, we drained the battery life on the camera and took over 100 photos (they are to follow, promise). Two doses of scenic overload and we were on the road again. Derry, being the next point on the map. Very ...

Ayr, UK to Belfast, UK. Another early start saw us to the ferry in Stranraer, about an hour south of where we had camped the night before.

A spacious and rather vacant site allowed us to pitch our tent at the back of the site, f...

Inverness UK, Ullapool UK (via the top end). After battling to sleep through the night without eating our weight in midges, we rose early to tackle the top loop - the road that would see us to the northern most point of mainland Great Britain. The drive started with what we had come to expect from Scotland; breathtaking mountains, beautiful forests, and everything in between.
