Well done Cul a cnoic, was wondering would anyone pick out the islands, its owey, not gola

Thanks Lobster, forgot to mention Owey. If memory serves me right, I think Daniel O'Ds mother was born on Owey.

Think I will have give up on that picture that Durnish posted, havn't a clue and it should be much easier now. Intreasting pictures though

ok, third snap from the aquaculchies adventure, the fuschai house, visible for miles around, deserted for fifty years?

I think this photo was taken looking towards Ardara from near Meenacurrin / Laconnell overlooking Maghera Bay.

Yeah i seen that, just that Cul a cnoic said gola.
I'm beat by your pic, loosing sleep over it in all

Durnish · 04-09-2009 03:49PM

Ardara to Maghera road, not as far down as Laconnel. Spectacular.

We had to slide back down a cliff to get back to the road.

let's see if this works,

Congrats to NWA for the id.

North_West_Art · 04-09-2009 04:31PM

I must head over there again, next good day we get... I was never down at the oyster beds

Cul a cnoic · 04-09-2009 05:28PM

Thanks Durnish, a lot of effort with this one. I hope your not expecting us all to have multiple shots and video of any future posts. You may be raising the stakes a bit too high for the rest of us, well me anyway.:D

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 04-09-2009 09:18PM

I'm gonna go for it.....

irlpic · 04-09-2009 10:06PM

Durnish · 05-09-2009 06:05AM

I need to see the video evidence.

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 05-09-2009 12:44PM

I think we all know, it's not actually Liscooley. :eek:
Here's another pic taken from the same spot, looking to the left.

Lobster · 05-09-2009 12:49PM

Is it down by dunfanaghy/ portnablagh? First one looking out towards horn head?

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 05-09-2009 12:59PM

Sort of yeah. I just realised that I don't know the actual name of what we're looking at in the first one, pretty sure it is horn head.

They're not taken from Dunfanaghy though.

North_West_Art · 05-09-2009 01:04PM

I knew it was Horn Head alright, I was just trying to figure where they were taken from... Ards forest park up on a height?

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 05-09-2009 01:15PM

Nope, not Ards. You're on the wrong side of the water there.

andyc09lad · 05-09-2009 10:30PM

its taken fron downings/carrigart area looking at horn head

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 05-09-2009 10:46PM

Correct, it's from Carrigart, just up the Glen road.

josey_whale · 06-09-2009 08:54PM

here's one....

Durnish · 06-09-2009 10:11PM

Easy, Doon Fort.

josey_whale · 06-09-2009 10:16PM

cool... am sure not many folks one here have been to visit it. An adventure!

Cul a cnoic · 06-09-2009 10:21PM

Never seen it before but did hear of it. Will certainly visit it now.
Thanks josey_whale for the post.

Is this fort over the Portnoo direction.
How would i go about visiting this place, direction wise?
Is it accessible with children?I only intend going as far as the waters edge.

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 07-09-2009 02:13PM

I have some more...if that's ok....

Oh and I have to confess I don't know the name of the actual river in the 3rd one, but just the general area of where it is will do.:)

josey_whale · 07-09-2009 02:45PM

Hi irlpic - yes, this is Doon Fort. It's on Doon Lough close to Portnoo. It's a while since I visited it.

The fort is marked on OSI maps - zoom in on Portnoo here [OSI maps.ie]. Doon lake is approx 1 mile south of Portnoo. The island is privately owed - so the the only way to get to the fort is to rent a boat from the owner. He'll rent a boat to you for ~ €20. His name is McHugh (Paddy? can't remember). He's a bit of a character. You can see the road up to his house on the map (coordinates XY: 570858, 898025). It's well worth the effort, especially if the weather is nice. The day I went out, the lake was quite choopy and was a bit of an effort.

You can however see the fort from the road. Also, if you are in the area - there's a nice visitors centre close by in Kilcooley [dolmen centre], where you can get the lowdown on all the local archeaology.

Hope this helps
