Bull Island - here we come

A sortie involving Bull Island is planned for Sunday 31st August - watch this space! Causeway and all that, so the main challenge is getting bikes there. Eilish Roche to the rescue!

This will be Island number 19. Some information about it from
http://goireland.about.com/od/parksandgardens/qt/bull_island.htm:


"Bull Island did not exist before the Bull Wall, a breakwater, was built in 1825. This led to sands accumulating between the wall and dry land, which in turn led to Bull Island rising out of the sea. When Darwin was working on his Origin of Species , the Bull Island Mouse was discovered and became chief witness to Darwin's theories - it had evolved from the field and house mice of the vicinity, adapting to island life by changing its coat to a sandy color. No wonder that the island is a UNESCO biosphere these days."
