Day 13 – TBW – TOM BEISTY WAY!!

Day 13 We were all up early as we wanted to make the most of the sunshine. Mum and Dad had bought sausages, bacon, eggs, the works and we decided we’d drive up to the Reek and have breakfast there. Unfortunately, everywhere we trying to park we have height restrictions 2.1 metres our home is […]

Day 12 – Westport House & Mussels

Day 12 By the time we had packed the van up and got ourselves ready for the next stage of adventure we were about 2 hours behind. Margaret, Granny’s friend had organised for us to go to Westport House and we were staying at the campsite there, our second campsite. We said our goodbyes to […]

Day 11 – Ballintubber, Cong & Apple Pie

Day 11 Dad was back. We decided that today we would go to Ashford Castle and Cong. Grandad was very glad the driving was now left to Dad and he could just direct on where to go, basically give out orders. We headed off, all in the van again. Despacito was playing again and Dad […]

Day 10 – The Big Match – Oh the Green & Red of Mayo

Day 7-8-9 Its cheating time

It’s getting tough to write these and not because we’ve nothing to say. We don’t have time or Wi-Fi. Since arriving in Develeash we haven’t stopped, eating, drinking and enjoying great company. Dad was heading to London for a couple of days so Mum dropped him to the airport at 7am. Her words ‘Time apart […]

Day 6 – Donegal Town and Old Friends

Day 6 At 4:30am we woke to the noise of horrendous rain beating down on our van. It was so loud and with the wind rocking the van too, we were certainly awake. At around 6:30 Harry announced he had lost a tooth in the night and that he put it under his pillow but […]

Day 5 – From Famine to Steak

Day 5 We were up a little earlier this morning and headed out after another great breakfast. The weather was lovely. Our plan was to leave Gleneely around 12 after visiting the Famine Museum but once we got there we knew the day would change as we didn’t want to leave. It was amazing, we […]

Day 4 – Canny’s Touring Company

Day 4 A massive lie in. Orla, Tom, Harry and I slept in the van. Dillon the dog slept there too and wasn’t for leaving. Michelle had done a beautiful breakfast and by the time we had all showered it was 12:15. We then left for our big tour of Inishowen 100. Obviously, Dillon came […]

Day 3 – 2 Ferries in 1 Day

Day 3 The alarm was set for 5.30am, we all had showers and to be honest they were desperately needed. We then headed straight down to the van and guess what, we weren’t 3rd off as predicted, but about 7th. The sun was shining and Belfast looked brilliant! We found a camp site and carpark […]
