Yes, we were off to explore the Irish end of the Giant's Causeway. We were very lucky to have our own local guide with us - our very charming and knowledgeable new friend Patrick.
We didn't want to just drive to the Causeway, pay lots of money to park, view it and them drive away as most visitors do. We wanted to make the visit a full day out and to make the most of the stunning scenery of the area. As we had enjoyed our previous day walking the coast path, we decided to park some miles away and arrive and return using paw power.
By the time we reached the causeway we were ready for a rest and relaxed in the sun taking in the incredible sight of all these thousands of basalt columns. Individually, they're pretty weathered and not particularly impressive, but it is the sheer numbers of the columns and the size of the area they cover that makes seeing the causeway close up quite an awe inspiring sight. While we relaxed, Patrick told us the story of the 2 giants, the Irish giant Finn Macool and the Scottish giant Benandonner and also impressed us, David Attenborough style, with his account of the geological formation.
As you can see, we made an attentive audience and it really was a lovely sunny day.
There's so much more to the Giants Causeway site than just the causeway so keep reading to find out about and view the less well known sights.
Lots of love, George, Yorkie, Patrick & Eddie xxx

I should imagine those stones were quite hard work for bears' paws to negotiate! Did you need to refuel afterwards with a nice pint or two?
