Today we’re off on a trip along the southernmost roads in Ireland.
We started off in Rosslare and driving north towards Wexford.
The region is pretty.
ProMods have a palatial villa there.
Here we are arriving in Wexford.
It’s a nice place, and the evening was drawing in, so after delivering the cargo we spent the night there.
A thunderstorm woke me in the early morning.
The hotel was shaking and I couldn’t get any sleep, so decided to skip breakfast and go and look for a job to do.
Here we are leaving Wexford – still in the storm – with what appears to be a European version of a frac tank.
We were making good progress towards Dublin when the weather finally started to clear up.
Nice scenery towns on the rocky road to Dublin.
Outskirts of Dublin.
Having traversed the outskirts of the Irish capital we headed west for Limerick.
Here’s Limerick.
Our destination was Galway, though, so we just passed through…
…and eventually arrived at the businesslike city of Galway.
That’s it for today!

Hey there... Utah's out, but I don't have it so I've got the time to post these nice shots from Ireland. Hooray!
Today we're travelling through Dublin, having a final look at Wales and finishing off at Manchester.
Galway. Black gas cylinders?? ! This guy looks like he just sprayed them illegally and is now scooting off before the fuzz arrive.
We spent the night here at a car park below the winking lights of the cranes.
In the early morning we left town with a familiar load.
Destination: Manchester, via Dublin.
Approaching Dublin.
Where's my broomstick?
The outskirts of Dublin are awesome.
Here's the city itself. That needle looks pretty sharp. A relic from Dublin's WWI anti-Zeppelin defenses, I believe.
Just love that colour.
Back at Holyhead again. This tanker overshot the turn and spent a good while trying to adjust its angle so as to get back on track. I like it when that happens, it's not really equivalent to human behaviour but it does give the impression that the AI really are 'alive' and not just running on invisible rails.
Angelsey once more.
The Menai Strait bridge... nice detailing on the concrete.
A brief jaunt along north Wales followed.
Love the local loco.
And it's farewell to Wales, time for a last few shots of England.
New ProMods junctions near Manchester.
Rural dwellings.
Typical vanilla industry.
Got a nice angle on the Manchester skyline here.
Just leaving the city this imbecile with a caravan cut in front of me and I only just avoided both it and the barrier. I thought I was in the real world for a moment.
Another new PM junction...
Au revoir for now!!

It's the weekend, and here's a final couple of shots from England before we head back into Ireland for a last couple of sets...
Nice ProMods junction building near Manchester. That's the jerk with the caravan.
Heading north to Heysham.
Heysham. A last look at English soil from the ferry.
Belfast once again.
Driving down to Dublin.
Approaching Dublin for the last time.
Heading into town for a cargo.
What that is I do not know, but I'm taking it to Galway.
Lots of greenery. Well, it's Ireland, the Emerald Isle.
Cargo dropped off in Galway. Time to pick up a new one, which we'll be taking to Oban in Scotland!
I was hoping to pick up a trailer full of logs so I could make a "joke" about cabers or something, but all they had for me was this mouldy old yacht.
Actually, it's a pretty cool yacht. And a heavy cargo I can feel good about hauling.
Moving up the west coast of Ireland to Sligo.
Is that... a leprechaun?
Approaching Sligo.
Landscape around Sligo.
Sligo housing.
Leaving Sligo for Enniskillen in N. Ireland.
Back soon I hope... we're off to Scotland next time! Cheers!

Today we're leaving Ireland and driving up north towards Oban in Scotland - a very nice journey!
Just out of Sligo and on the way to Enniskillen.
Crossing the border into Northern Ireland.
Enniskillen.
Omagh.
From Omagh to Belfast.
A final view of Belfast. Time for the last leg within Ireland - a short hop to the port of Larne.
Larne.
From Larne we'll take the ferry...
...over to Cairnryan. This is one of the places in Scotland which already features in my previous thread, so we'll skip through the trip quite quickly.
Welcome to Scotland!
Heading towards Glasgow.
A Scottish sunset this time.
After spending the night in Glasgow we set off for Oban.
Many months ago in the old thread I posted a picture of this spot and wrote of how tempted I was to take the route to Inverness instead of sticking to the vanilla map. Now we are finally actually taking this route. I've never seen PM Scotland so definitely looking forward to it.
View of Glasgow.
New lands!!!
Looking really nice.
Cheers till next time!!

Our journey into greenest Scotland continues...
A wee cottage on the road to Oban.
Tranquil waters.
Here's Oban. Finally we can deliver this yacht. Hope it carries its owner safely over many leagues...
The Scottish seaside - very bracing.
A last shacht with the yacht.
Let's make gravelcastles!
Off we go again, taking the scenic route to Aberdeen.
That's one narrow bridge!
On the way to Fort William.
Here's Fort William.
Next stop is the scenery town of Kingussie.
Here is the said town. Next shall be the oddly named scenery town of Keith.
The road to Keith is pretty nice.
A beautiful sunset appeared, right on cue.
Alright Keef!
Aberdeen by nightfall or bust!
That's it for today, hope you enjoyed!
