Ahoghill.

Ventured inland today and visited the scenic village shit hole of Ahoghill.

AhoghillPO_14JUL1996
The destitute, barren village of Ahoghill bedecked with bunting for no apparent reason.

No hogs and more of a general incline than a “hill”. In true Northern Ireland style Ahoghill is reliably disappointing.

Verdict -3/5 (Avoid. Stay on the B52).

Ballycastle.

Jesus wept!

Spent the day here staring at a few of the local villagers trying to unload a tractor off a ferry at the harbour.

Several hundred local people gathered to watch.

The annual Ballycastle tractor off loading festival in full swing.

After three hours I was bored stiff and depressed so I took a walk down to the shitty beach. No, really, that’s not just what I thought of it the European Commission thinks it’s too shitty too.

Verdict: 0.5/5 (Avoid).

Giant’s causeway.

Went to the “Giant’s causeway” today.

No giants.

Stood around looking at funny shaped rocks waiting on a fusty smelling Ulsterbus to come and rescue me from the boredom and disappointment.

Stones.
That’s me, second from left. The folks from a local special needs centre looked like they were enjoying themselves. I expect their medication helped.

 

You’d think after 6,000 years they’d have thought of something to do to liven the place up a bit.

Verdict 0.2/5 (Avoid).
