Since my return to the U.K, I have been looking for self-employment, with flexible hours, and just anything but a desk job… Which brought me to the idea of the shared economy opportunities (like Uber and Airbnb), where Amazon Logistics offer similar opportunities through their Amazon Flex multi-drop delivery drivers. Which may not seem like …
People locally know that there is Free Entry to the Giants Causeway, whereas most tourists think that it is exclusively a paid tourist attraction. Hence we see it as a bit of a tourist trap. However, the so-called admission charge isn’t for access to the actual coastline and the picturesque basalt columns, but for the …
Until recently, it was a good 15-20 years since I last explored the forests of Crawfordsburn Country Park. At least, I hadn’t really seen past the visitor centre and the perimeter trees of Crawfordsburn Beach. But through the last year, I have been adventuring more as I follow the changing colours into the Autumn, as again …
Northern Ireland for me is the perfect road trip destination, with short distances between close-knit tourist attractions, well-maintained roads, and just so much sightseeing in between. A good itinerary would be starting out from Belfast City Airport, where ideal bases nearby are either Belfast tourist centre (10-min drive) or the seaside alternative with the City …
I never planned on writing this post on the Walled Garden Bangor, but after passing through to Bangor Abbey, we never did make it to the opposite end. At the time we had arranged to meet back at the car park in an hour (car park location here) while my mum was off for her …
Back in 2018, the Asian Supermarket Belfast (aka known as the Chinese Supermarket Belfast) moved from its otherwise lifelong location on the Ormeau Road to what is now a short-ish distance further at the Ormeau Embankment (40 Ormeau Embankment: Google Map Location here). A move that makes very little difference to our own journey, given …
Bangor Seafront is often known as the ‘Queen’s Parade’, although this has become more of a swear word of late, due to failing investments in the shopping side of the seafront. Where plans for redevelopment continually fall through to the seemingly endless frustrations of local Bangor folk. But this has very little to do with the seaward side of …
When it comes to road trips the Wild Atlantic Way has to be among the best in the world. However, it can be so much better when removing the limitations of borders and restrictions of inland attractions. As technically the Wild Atlantic Way only include destinations on the west coast of Ireland. But many must-see …
If looking for some more rustic and rural scenery when visiting Bangor, my favourite out-of-town hotel option would undoubtedly be the Old Inn Crawfordsburn Hotel (aka Crawfordsburn Inn), simply because it’s surrounded by some of the most magnificent greenery along this coastline. Where the Old Inn Hotel is situated in the charming village of Crawfordsburn, …
This post is not about me. It’s about a good friend named ‘Winker Watson’, who is a bit of a rebel, and I obviously don’t approve of his shenanigans shared throughout this article. Anyway, Winker Watson is fairly well travelled, and through the 6-months prior to this toll fine, he had been road tripping through …
