Antrim Coast
Video starts from Ballycastle, where we run the A2 Antrim Coast Road.
The road was constructed between 1832 and 1842 by civil engineer William Bald. Instead of building the road inland, Bald had the vision of building the road at the foot of the cliffs. This avoided the road having steep gradients as it ran along the valleys. The workers blasted parts of the cliffs, and the fallen debris then formed the base for the coast road. It was a great engineering achievement for its day and made a great difference to the people of the Glens. Before the road was built, they sailed their goods across the sea to markets in Scotland, because the sea crossing was easier than travel by land.
Video ends at the village of Glynn.

km,
Il percorso è favoloso. Bello il tratto la iniziale in salita e poi in discesa, eccezionale il resto del video lungo la costa, praticamente sempre in solitaria.
Per me, amante del nord Europa, è fantastico. Percorso numerose volte, ogni volta è una sorpresa.
