Ring of Kerry Ireland
To read the full article visit:
The Ring of Kerry in western Ireland is 115 miles long but there are two parts of it that are unmissable. They are at each end of the Ring, which basically means you need to drive the whole of it to appreciate it fully. The local maps and tourist board advise travelling in an anti-clockwise direction around the Ring of Kerry to make the most of the sights, but I don't personally think it makes any difference as you probably will need to stop every few hundred metres anyway. There are plenty of lay-by's to stop and take photos, so there's no need to stop somewhere dumb.
First the Killarney National Park, which is on the Eastern end of the Ring, with its Loch Leane, a pristine lake surrounded by imposing mountains including the highest in Ireland, Mount Carrauntoohil which at 1038 metres is just shy of Mount Snowdon, which is 1085 metres high. It's also relatively easily climbable, but there are a number of peaks inside the ring over 600 metres high. The National Park, also contains the Muckross Abbey and Muckross house (04:28), built in the 19th century by an Anglo-Irish aristocrat. The house is not only a fine example of its period, but its setting is the most breathtaking I have ever seen, right next to Loch Leane and with mountains rising in the distance. Just beside the National Park is Black Valley (03:10), and the Gap of Dunloe, which are both side routes well worth taking on a good day. On a bad day you just can't see anything for all the fog. Start your trip from the small town of Kenmare, at the southern end of the park, which itself is a very pretty place and well worth stopping for the night. It's also a good plan to get off to an early start as the best stopping points along the route can be full of tourist coaches and cars. The most popular being the Ladies View (03:54) so called because of the delight of Queen Victoria's Ladies in Waiting when they stopped way back in the late 19th century when on a tour.
You eventually arrive at the town of Killarney, another great place to stop for the night with numerous hotels and guest houses. It recently hosted the Irish Open Golf Tournament, attracting huge number of visitors, but the economic downturn has taken its toll on numbers of late, not that you could tell by looking at the pristine grounds of each of these properties.
From Killarney, you pass the top of the Gap of Dunloe at the small village of Beaufort, and then on to the town of Killorglin, where there was a small music festival and fair taking place as I was driving through. By this time I was looking for somewhere to camp for the night, and passed the town of Glenbeigh where there is a very good campsite, the Glenross, but I wanted something a bit more downbeat and private, so I carried on. I just happened to stop to look at another landscape across the bay towards the Dingle Peninsula when I looked down to a small settlement right at the foot of the hills, which had a small, sheltered inlet with a long pier and small campsite. I looked at the map and found that it was the village of Kells (03:42). Kells turned out to be a real find, because not only was the campsite adjacent to the beach, but I was the only one camped there, while the masses were just 10 miles away in Glenbeigh. It cost me all of 8.5 Euro with breakfast at the guesthouse (which would have been 22 Euro), but without a shower, which I replaced with a leap into the fresh water at the end of the pier. If you like to get away from the crowd as I do, aim for Kells.

Places to see in ( Stonehaven - UK )
Places to see in ( Stonehaven - UK )
Stonehaven is a town in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It lies on Scotland's northeast coast. After the demise of the town of Kincardine, which was gradually abandoned after the destruction of its royal castle in the Wars of Independence, the Scottish Parliament made Stonehaven the successor county town of Kincardineshire.
Stonehaven had grown around an Iron Age fishing village, now the Auld Toon (old town), and expanded inland from the seaside. As late as the 16th century, old maps indicate the town was called Stonehyve, Stonehive, Pont also adding the alternative Duniness. It is known informally to locals as Stoney. The town is served by Stonehaven railway station, and lies just to the east of the A90 road.
Stonehaven is the site of prehistoric events evidenced by finds at Fetteresso Castle and Neolithic pottery excavations from the Spurryhillock area. The Covenanters were imprisoned in Dunnottar Castle, where many died. A memorial to them can be found in Dunnottar Church. Other castles in the vicinity are Fetteresso Castle and Muchalls Castle, both of which are in private ownership and not open to the public. The oldest surviving structure in Stonehaven is the Stonehaven Tolbooth at the harbour, used as an early prison and now a museum.
Dunnottar Castle, perched atop a rocky outcrop, was home to the Keith family, and during the Scottish Wars of Independence, the Scottish Crown Jewels were hidden there. In 1296, King Edward I of England took the castle only for William Wallace to reclaim it in 1297, burning down the church in the process with the entire English garrison still in it. In 1650, Oliver Cromwell sacked the castle to find the Crown Jewels following an eight-month siege (having previously destroyed the English Crown Jewels). However, just before the castle fell, the Crown Jewels were smuggled out by some ladies who took them by boat to a small church just down the coast in the village of Kinneff, where they remained undetected for eleven years.
Stonehaven was a Jacobite town in the Fifteen and it was a safe base for the retreating Jacobite army to stay overnight on the night of 5–6 February 1716. In the Forty-Five Stonehaven, part of the Episcopalian north-east, was again ‘reliably Jacobite’ and it was one of the north-eastern ports where reinforcements, plus money and equipment were periodically landed from France.
Stonehaven is 15 miles (24 km) south of Aberdeen in a sheltered position on Stonehaven Bay between the Carron Water and the Cowie Water. Stonehaven lies adjacent to a deeply indented bay surrounded on three sides by higher land between Downie Point and Garron Point. The harbour, consisting of two basins, was improved in the 1820s by the engineer Robert Stevenson (grandfather of the author Robert Louis Stevenson) and became an important centre of the 19th century herring trade; the harbour is bordered on the north by Bellman's Head and at the south by Downie Point.
Stonehaven has three Churches of Scotland: Dunnottar Parish Church, Stonehaven South Parish Church and Fetteresso Parish Church, an evangelical Church of Scotland. The town is also home to City Church South, Stonehaven Baptist Church, St James' Episcopal Church and St Mary's Catholic Church.
Dunnottar Castle is a ruined medieval fortress located upon a rocky headland on the north-east coast of Scotland, about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) south of Stonehaven. The surviving buildings are largely of the 15th and 16th centuries, but the site is believed to have been fortified in the Early Middle Ages. Dunnottar has played a prominent role in the history of Scotland through to the 18th-century Jacobite risings because of its strategic location and defensive strength. Dunnottar is best known as the place where the Honours of Scotland, the Scottish crown jewels, were hidden from Oliver Cromwell's invading army in the 17th century.

NC 500 North Coast 500 Day 1 29/03/16 : Day 12 Scottish Road Trip
Selected clips and photos from Day 1 of our journey on the North Coast 500, and the 12th day of our Scottish Road Trip.
We started from the Bunchrew House Hotel in Inverness, and made our first stop at Rogie Falls. Then was moved on to Achnasheen where after a brief stop we deviated off the NC Route and turned right to the Glen Doherty Viewpoint. Then we backtracked and went down the Glen Carron and stopped on the way for a lovely walk before reaching Lochcarron for our overnight stay. Here we walked the shoreline and took a trip down to the ruins of Castle Strome.
Another great day in Scotland, and a great start to the NC 500

Five-Day Motorcycle Tour in Scotland 2018
2018 five-day Scotland tour is complete. Here’s a summary:
Day 1: North London home to Helvellyn YHA 352 miles
Day 2: Helvellyn YHA to Glen Nevis YHA, 255 miles
Day 3: Glen Nevis YHA to John O’Groats to Durness Smoo YHA (330 miles)
Day 4: Durness Smoo YHA to Tobermory YHA (Isle of Mull) (335 miles)
Day 5: Tobermory YHA to North London home (530 miles, 11 by sea)
Total miles was 1776. Overnights in hostels cost from £15 for a shared room to £60 for a private room en suite, with breakfast costing £4.5 to £5.5. I booked them all months ago, and was only in a shared room at Durness Smoo. Only day with real rain was Day 5, with light mist for the first third, then nothing for middle third, then heavy thundershowers on and off on final third.
Biggest surprise and challenge was the rock road up to Helvellyn YHA, which the KTM dispatched without a second thought. Best lunch break was Mountain Coffee Company in Gairloch, on the west coast. Best overnight was with 10 other bikers (by chance) in the former radar shacks at Durness Smoo. Best dinner was at a waterfront hotel in Tobermory.
Best post-ride exercise was 2 hour hike up the base climbs of Ben Nevis. All of the hostels had super friendly staff. None had particularly secure bike parking (I was just on the waterfront street in Tobermory), so it was worth having both Abus disc lock and heavy-ish chain for rear wheel along.
Video below has maps and highlights from each day. This is my third time doing this general loop, with some experiments each year. I will likely do it again next year. I normally do it in six days, but family opportunities had me back a day early by doing the long fifth day from Tobermory to home. Sorry the video is longish— but lots of things should happen on a bike tour if you can do only one five-day tour a year!
