I drove this route a few years back, the sun was shining brilliantly in the late afterrnoon in August .The scenery is stunning and of course when you arrive at Cushedun, it's like you've arrived in Brigadoon!

Hi. I was wondering if you could tell me what that music is that was playing or you used. I love it! It sounds like some sort of Irish symphony orchestra or a jazz rendition of an orchestral piece. Just lovely. Thanks.

Never drive while under the influnence of drugs, I would drve exactly like that during the late seventies while listening to loud music and speeding my head off on amphetamines, but i'm pleased to say I no longer do!
