Where do the Giants 'cross way'? - at Causeway :) 19th March

Heading for the World Heritage, follow the routes advised by the National Trust. Today we went for a Social Trip and the destination was one of the most exciting places: it is the Giant's Causeway.

Giant's view to the sea

This expressive place lies on the coast of the North Channel. It is made up of some 40,000 massive basalt columns sticking out of the sea. This place was formed by volcanic activities during the Terciary some 50-60 million years ago. Most of the coloums are hexagonal, although there are also some with four, five seven, eight sides. They are just amazing!
Perfect fit of the stones
Legends say it was the giant, Finn McCool, who destroyed the bridge built from stones between Scotland and Ireland to escape from the mighty giant, Benandonner.

We all became great adventures as crossing over the Carrick-a-Redge, on the rope bridge. Now challenge day is completed. It was originally strung by local fishermen to get the best place to catch salmons migrating up the stream.

Rope bridge - and a lot of visitors



We stopped for some 20 minutes on the sandy beach of Portrush and at the haunted castle, Dunluce to take some photos. This castle is thought to be the most romantic and picturesque castle in Ireland.
