Hi

In September this year my son and I plan to do a cycle tour of Northern Ireland (we cycled the Camino last year!)

There’d just be us two, perhaps bringing our own road bikes into Belfast by air from Inverness/London. We have a week available and would want to visit the Pomeroy area of Tyrone in particular (where my McCourt ancestors came from)and perhaps Carrigart (where my wife’s great grandfather was buried after he perished in a fishing boat accident in 1912). Hostel and B&B accomodation would be our choice – modest budget. Any help or advice would be welcomed.

Forgot to add that we'd be happy to do 400 or 500 miles and will undertake most gradients on metalled roads.

Hi,
WE cycled around Strangford lough last summer and the Glens of Antrim really nice and very friendly people, We stayed in Band B along way had a general idea of where we would finish but never advanced booked and found accomadation no problem. Also cycled the Camino from Le Puy to St Jean, great trip on two cheap decatalon bikes.

Thanks greengage that a big help in knowing we can "pot luck" our way around. We did St Jean to Santiago (625 miles) in eight days - I'm 56, he's 30! I don't feel that the Ulster terrain will be a problem but weather will be a crucial factor I guess. I've lived here in the north of Scotland for 35 years so fairly accustomed to variable weather.

Any plans for this year yourself?

Thanks everyone we have got the route planned now and I've uploaded on here (pending approval):

Belfast - Armagh - Omagh - Letterkenny - Rathmullan (via Carrigart) - Buncrana - Moville - Bushmills - Cushendall - Belfast

All accommodation booked and bikes organised for collection in Belfast - people have been so helpful. All we need now is a fair September - maybe see you on the road. Just the Lough Swilly ferry that's proving problematic ie it's not running yet and is in some doubt. We have an alternative route via Londonderry/Derry but prefer crossing Inishowen...
