DS2 has expressed a desire to go and as he's at that 14yo not interested in anything stage, this seems like quite a big deal. Plus, I've wanted to see it since I did Geology at Alevel.
A tour guide friend has suggested it's better to do the Scottish end as it will be less busy, but it also seems less accessible with less to do for the rest of the week.
Does anyone have any tips for either end?
We're in South East England, what the best way to get to either site?
What else is there to do in the area(s)? We're generally happy with walking but a couple of days more exiting outdoor activities for the teen DC is good and some wet weather contingencies?
Plus, DH was in the British Army and is very reluctant to visit Northern Ireland. Can anyone put his mind at rest or is it a valid concern? He's been out for years, but you can still tell just by looking at him that he's an ex-squaddie.
