Here is another one of my pictures from my trip to Ireland last week. This is a shot of the Slieve League Cliffs in county Ulster. It is a region of Ireland located in the very north-west corner of the island. Apparently on the day I was there and took this picture someone unfortunately went missing on the cliffs, suspected that he fell off or got pushed off.
Hey, very nice picture! I want to say (so that you know more about our wee island cause I love it) its the province of Ulster (or Ulster province). Slieve League’s county is Donegal. Anyways, I hope you had a great time!
Twenty years ago, I hiked a portion of the crest line. It’s extremely plausible that it was simply an accident. That place is one of the most beautiful I’ve ever been, but it’s no joke.
I just mean the ridge that runs along the crest of those hills at the Slieve League, where you’ve got pretty fair drops on both sides of a rather narrow “path”, eventually verging on sheer on the seaward side. A couple of times, after I hopped from one rock to another, even 20-something me thought, “Jeez that was pretty stupid.” Then, when you’re actually at the cliffs, there was no real infrastructure of any kind, and definitely no railings. In the early 2000s at least, it was still a fairly wild sort of place.
Wow, sounds great! Yeah when I walked up last week there still weren’t any railings haha and near the top there’s a little car park where the busses drop people off (I didn’t take the bus I walked up) and there’s a few merchants up there selling clothes and ice cream and stuff.
