FROM WHEELCHAIR NOMAD DIARY...2003 NI Robert guided us on the A26 to Portstewart and Portrush, where we stopped at his golf club. We were near a caravan that the Dunlops own near the sea and enjoy as a summer residence. We passed Dunluce Castle where twenty-five servants died when part of the castle collapsed into the sea in the seventeenth century. We drove past the Giants Causeway, formed from unique octagonal basalt rocks. This scenery is amazing, truly unique, Richard exclaimed. I like the brightly painted white houses, sweeping chalk cliffs and tiny boat harbours surrounded by rocky outcrops and islands. Its all photogenic. Now it was nearing 8.00 pm and Robert needed to pack for his Edinburgh trip tomorrow. I suggested, We better take the quickest highway back. This coastal road is narrow and winds like a pigs tail. Were lucky to do thirty five miles an hour on it. From Ballycastle, we visited the Bushmill Brewery and took the A26 and then the M2 from Antrim through Belfast to the M1 to Dunmurry
