Good morning from Ireland. This is my second day here.
I am heading South from the western coastline of the country, using the Wild Atlantic road.
The ship behind me is named "Creteboom,
it's one of the many ships that were constructed during WW1, out of concrete.
and they started constructing them out of concrete because the UK run out of steel during WW1.
This ship survived the war, and then it was decided that they should bring it at this river (Moy) and sink it.
Because they have big tides here, and whenever the tides comes and goes, it drags a lot of sand with it.
That means that the port is getting blocked by the sand so they need something to block the sand.
The day that they were towing the ship, it was to stormy and the ship got damaged so bad it couldn't move.
So it stayed somewhere in between for about 40 years, and then it was decided to move it here for an attraction.
Thats the story of "Creteboom", and I hope it will be my subject for photography tonight if nobody tells me to go,
Because I am too close to the town.
I am in Derrigimlagh, and this is a very important area for Irish history.
Giulielmo Marconi set up the biggest wireless radio transmitter of the world.
He could receive and sent telegraphs.
In these field right behind me, it was the landing point of the first nonstop transatlantic flight.
It wasn't really a landing... It was more like a crash.
During WW1 it was guarded heavily by the military because of the importance of the telegraph station.
During the Irish civil war, the station was destroyed by IRA.
A lot of things were happening during the years in this area, which i find very interesting.
Here we are.... Waiting for the tent to fall down... get smashed up....
I am at the Martello tower, that I found earlier, and I pitched my tent behind the tower,
where it was not affected by the wind ...
But the wind changed direction completely and now its directly on my tent.
The time is 2:30... and this is being going on since midnight..
I wasn't able to sleep at all.
The wind is very strong... and there is not chance I can move the tent alone in the darkness.
The only thing left, is to try to support it from the inside, not to break again.
Because that would be too much of a trouble at this time.
Good morning!
The tent survived, and I was able to put it down alone this morning.
I don't know why, but I noticed that the winds are way to strong during the morning hours, around 6:00
I was holding the tent with my hands and I had my legs on it as well, and I almost loose it..
I pitched it so good last night, that I was almost sure that the poles can last through the night..,
What was really concerning, it was the chance of the fabric to get ripped off
I didn't sleep at all thought.. I was up all night supporting it from the inside.
So, back to Martello towers... These towers were constructed during the 19th century
as a line of defence against Napoleon.
it was believed that Napoleon would use Ireland as back door to invade the United Kingdom.
They have a very simple and standard architecture. Very thick walls, so they can take fire from the cannons,
Always round, and there was 3 levels inside. One with the ammo, one with the men of the tower,
and the basement was full of food supplies.
And on the roof it was a single cannon that had a mechanism that allowed it to fire in 360 degrees.
This one is in a very good condition... It would be lovely to have a better night.
I pitched my tent in a good position for photographs right next to the tower, but I could also use this old building.
but I wanted to shoot pics.... what to do...
Anyway, the time is about 6:30 now and I have a very bad weather.... there is going to be rain and wind....
and I have to cover about 400km.
