    Well done Cul a cnoic, was wondering would anyone pick out the islands, its owey, not gola

    Thanks Lobster, forgot to mention Owey. If memory serves me right, I think Daniel O'Ds mother was born on Owey.

    Think I will have give up on that picture that Durnish posted, havn't a clue and it should be much easier now. Intreasting pictures though

    Ardara to Maghera road, not as far down as Laconnel. Spectacular.

    We had to slide back down a cliff to get back to the road.

    let's see if this works,





    Congrats to NWA for the id.

    Thanks Durnish, a lot of effort with this one. I hope your not expecting us all to have multiple shots and video of any future posts. You may be raising the stakes a bit too high for the rest of us, well me anyway.:D

    Sort of yeah. I just realised that I don't know the actual name of what we're looking at in the first one, pretty sure it is horn head.

    They're not taken from Dunfanaghy though.

    I knew it was Horn Head alright, I was just trying to figure where they were taken from... Ards forest park up on a height?

    Nope, not Ards. You're on the wrong side of the water there.

    Hi irlpic - yes, this is Doon Fort. It's on Doon Lough close to Portnoo. It's a while since I visited it.

    The fort is marked on OSI maps - zoom in on Portnoo here [OSI maps.ie]. Doon lake is approx 1 mile south of Portnoo. The island is privately owed - so the the only way to get to the fort is to rent a boat from the owner. He'll rent a boat to you for ~ €20. His name is McHugh (Paddy? can't remember). He's a bit of a character. You can see the road up to his house on the map (coordinates XY: 570858, 898025). It's well worth the effort, especially if the weather is nice. The day I went out, the lake was quite choopy and was a bit of an effort.

    You can however see the fort from the road. Also, if you are in the area - there's a nice visitors centre close by in Kilcooley [dolmen centre], where you can get the lowdown on all the local archeaology.

    Hope this helps
