Excerpt from Untamed in the Wild Atlantic Way by Christopher Ludgate
Out now in the Blue Issue of Wander Magazine, Page 76:
“Gliding up to the peak of Sky Road along its rolling hills, coastal overlook nooks, and grazing herds was a revelation in itself. The dramatic vastness of the ocean opened up before me and I barely came to a full stop before hopping off my bike to get to the edge. I was completely enthralled. Imagine living in one of those houses along the inlet down there, I thought. The peace and quiet, the commanding beauty. My God, it was stunning.
“It was a dream similar to the day before on the scenic roads in those idyllic coastal towns, overpowered at the edge of the earth, encompassed by the drama of those cliffs in County Clare. Those untamed thrashing waves.
“And then there was that sunrise at the lofty mountain peaks. The beams of light seemed to dance between the cotton clouds in the valleys of Connemara with its thatch cottages, fairy trees …and that beautiful Abbey.
“It’s not folklore. It’s the Wild Atlantic Way. And the majesty, its simplicity is just poetry.”
