Having completed about two thirds of the city walls, we detoured down into the Bogside area, Republican stronghold and scene of the infamous Bloody Sunday incident in 1972. The murals that commemorate the troubles are striking. I couldn't help but feel a bit apprehensive though, a Brit entering Free Derry. Best not open your mouth said Grizzly. There were some shady looking characters on one street corner. I was happy to walk passed them fairly quickly.
Lunching now before the ride back to Coleraine. We need too check out where we will park tomorrow. There is supposed to be a bike park on the coast road but I'm not sure exactly where it is. Tomorrow will be busy, so best to know where we are going. Our bums will be parked in some pretty decent grandstand seats, so really looking forward to it.
