After frantic cycling against W winds and through the showers of England and Scotland I made it on time to get on ferry in Stranraer. I have done my biggest cycling day of the trip on 15th of July as I have pedaled 216 km from Alston (UK) to Kirroughtree near Newton Stewart (SCO) and stopped at 03H30. I have met great girls and guys (Clair, Sam, Liam and Mark) from the Scotland's biking heaven in Kirroughtree. They were very kind and generous with me (and my bike) - thank you guys ! Also people in Dumfries' tourist information office (Scotland) were remarkably well informed (about cycling paths) and kind. I arrived in Belfast two days ago, on 16th of July. Yesterday was big information and maps getting day. People from Bikedock shop were very professional and kind and directed me to Sustrans' bureau. Where I have been given a pile of cycling maps of Northern Ireland and great information from very friendly people (thanks Patricia and Steven !). After 3000 km my bike got new tyres. Now I am having good rest in my friend's place near Belfast (thanks Wojtek&Aga&Maja&Filip !).
The last part of the adventure - the tour of Ireland should start today.
Once again, the thorough, day by day description of events will be done after my return to Corsica, in two weeks - all being well.
Projected return to Belfast in twelve days.
Big thanks to everyone who provided me with help these last days :-)
