Giant's Causeway 7/9/06

Went to the Giant's causeway, luckily it was the first day of real sunshine we'd had in about a month, so it was just briliant being out in it! The causeway is made of a whole bunch of hexagonal stone shafts which were formed by lava which had cooled into patterns much akin to dried up mud in the bottom of a dam. As the earth then moved it pushed each individual column up out of the ground and as they came up at differnt times etc it gives the impression of stairs. The other hypothesis is that a giant called Finn McCool made them. Hmmm... Anyway, we walked down into this valley of really cool stone structures, then had to basically walk up the hill out of there. That wasn't the most fun we'd had all day, but the views were awesome.
