It sounds like a race car, but the name “Inishowen 100” came from approximatively the distance (100 miles) of the road that run around the Inishowen Peninsula.

We did not afford to take all the way long, but still we had our 100 miles.
And they were the most beautiful 100 miles we had in Northern Ireland.

The green of the hills was enhanced by a touch of purple, given by the erica.
The clouds and the dull sky did the rest.
The result was a wonderful day in some lovely landscapes.

Sandy beach at Clonmany

In our way towards the northern point of Ireland, we had a little stop in Clonmany. A beach like I never seen before: rocks, grass and amazing waves.

Of course there were children taking a bath, while other adventurous people were surfing (the real stuff), in a very cold wind.
Here and there some showers, but when you are inside the car, it is easy to forget about them.

Me at Clonmany beach!

Beach at Clonmany

We enjoyed a lot the road towards and across the Mamore Gap.
Up and down, the road from Clonmany to Buncrana is a treasure in the Northern of Ireland.
Full of placid goats starring at us wondering why we were bothering their lunches.
Flowers, that depict the landscape with their gently colours.
And nothing more: you can travel dozen of miles without any clue of human being.

Look behind you!	Towards the Mamore Gap
Dreaming of... grass!

If it wasn’t for the road (somebody should have built it right?) you can wonder that this was the shape of the nature when few people were around (and years before the humans ruined it of course).

All the towns here are beautiful.

Buncrana has a very nice beach too, despite the rain…

Before returning to the B&B in Donegal, there was time for another colorful sunset…
