    Think Illanaran is the Irish name all right, I've always heard it called Green Island though from my time on the island. Its supposedly a bird sanctuary as well, not sure if thats just in name or anything official, a nice part if the world regardless!

    Is the second one on Arran again or is it a new test?

    Is it Horn Head? There's an obvious unconformity in the rock layers, and possible Dark intrusives. Thinking the Horn Head Slide?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 413 ✭✭MeteoritesEire


    It's not Horn Head muckish though you had me searching google as I wasn't sure where Hornhead was.Interesting that you mentioned dark intrusives though as that very thing defined the whole day out there.I'll post another pic or 2 shortly showing what I mean that won't give the location away unless one was extremely familiar with it I would think


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 413 ✭✭MeteoritesEire


    I'd never heard of the Horn Head slide but after you mentioned that I thought I'd stumbled on it unwittingly with this huge lava/basalt pipe-you can see the same 2 sea caves from my first pic

    another view of the caves with the basalt foreground

    I'll leave it for somebody else to guess as I've taken that exact same picture and even got it blown up and put on canvas-it hangs in my kitchen LOL

    spot on.Fairly sure you could see the spot where I was standin if you could look thru a telescope in pbarrs pic-quite the coincidence


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 692 ✭✭✭Durnish


    I am going to guess somewhere.......
    on Crohy Head, looking across Trawenagh to Dooey strand.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 824 ✭✭✭pbarr


    You're close enough. Its in Falmore. I think thats probably Portnoo straight ahead. :)

    speaking of Trawenagh,my last pic that nobody guessed with the unusual rock formation was out on that very bay.
