(May 21st – June 12th) - The year of the wind
Wind, wind and more wind. A cold and strong wind was our faithful companion during the first half of this holiday. A real torment that made the trip a nightmare!
For the first time we followed a twisted itinerary. Rather than driving in a clockwise or anticlockwise way around the island, we tried an itinerary that could look like an “8”, from Dublin to west, then to north and northeast, down to south across the Midlands and the southeast and back to Dublin.
For a reason that escapes me, this travel was mostly concentrated on medieval monuments rather than prehistoric. This unbalanced the monuments database.
