Taking to the road next week to cycle #Eurovelo 1 from #Belfast to #Sligo. As well as the route shown if the weather behaves a little I’m going to add loops of the Sperrins, Inishowen & Boa island (I want to see the ‘Janus’ statues. if it’s glorious I might even head back to a couple of favourite wild camping spots
I intend to finish the two other ‘missing’ sections of #EV1 in Ireland over the summer so that in the winter I can create a full set of videos of every part
