Breakfast for the journey ahead. Scrambled eggs, Pork Sausages, Ham and Toast.
Portstewart Beach above the start of the coastal ride. The weather was cloudy with sunny spells. A cold north head wind on the journey out. The route starts on a coastal path and soon turns to a single track that leads along the side of Portstewart golf course.
Portrush Whiterocks beach above. The route now was on the road for a section. The roads follow the coast along the cliff tops passing the famous Dunluce Castle below.
The road leads to Portballintray a small fishing village seen below. Shortly after the village the route changes to single track cliff path. High sea cliffs with many coves and headlands.
The world famous Giants Causeway below is next on the journey. The high sea cliffs tower over the world heritage site. This part of the journey is all single track climbing and descending. Snaking through the ports and coves a great part of the journey.
The problem with this path is the land is grazing land for Sheep and Cows. The fences have steps I think I counted 12 before I got bored.Whitepark bay is another very nice beach on the route. In the distance you can see Rathlin Island a small Island with only around 100 people currently living on the Island.
Another view of whitepark bay looking back towards Portbradden. Portbradden is home to Irelands smallest Church.
On the coastal trail you pass through a cave. This leads to Portbradden harbour a small fishing harbour with only one or two boats.
