Erris Head Loop walk stile

Erris Head Loop walk stile
Walking along this exciting coast can have its moments. Here we have a most extraordinary stile that we have just climbed over. The fences are like so many we have seen in the Republic of Ireland, extensive and dangerous. However the stile did suffice but I doubt anybody with any physical restrictions would have managed it.

Enjoy full size!

HFF, enjoy the weekend.

That's an impressive looking style Herb...........but I can't help thinking it would have been cheaper just to put a wooden one or even a gate there! The fence itself looks pretty ricketty!

There's a super view past the fence though, which I like very much.

Have a great day my friend...........and an enjoyable weekend.

Well it does more than the job Keith. Very solid and it got both of us over that barbed fence quite nicely. Yes the general state of barbed fences were somewhat rickety making them more difficult to climb over :)

Have a good weekend yourself. Herb

Great view and a very expensive gate substitute Herb, have seen these made from wood in Scotland.
HFF and a nice weekend,

Herb Riddle club has replied to Roger (Grisly) club
Yes wood is the natural material for these but... Maybe they had a few surplus and decided to use them.

Rather a high stile Herb. I can see what you mean! A lovely view somewhat spoiled by the old fence and ironwork. A good shot and perfect for Friday.

HFF Herb, and wish you a good weekend.

in fairness, the path was quite good. Two planks to keep your shoes dry in very wet weather. Glad you liked it.

There are some large stiles over walls in the Peak District but this does look extremely high. I bet there many people unhappy about using it and some who probably turn back. Very interesting

Sorry forgot to add HFF

Herb Riddle club has replied to Colin Ashcroft club
Nice to see you here Colin. Yes, I know the Peak District have some great stiles, some of which we have tried. Coming across this was quite daunting as we too thought of members of our family who could not have climbed it. Better a small gate, by far.

HFF, enjoy the weekend. Herb

It's a great stile Herb but the fence is a bit of a mess but the view beyond is beautifull.

Certainly not one for a walking stick but sure looks sturdy interesting fence style as the edge, HFF hope you have a very good weekend.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Steve Paxton club
As you say, no good at all for people wielding such a stick. It did the job for us though Steve. I think there was another one at least but no other photo. The fences around here were a bit rough and ready in parts.

Hello Herb, i have just posted a stile seen a week ago in The Forest Of Bowland not quite as impressive as this one. Colin

Herb Riddle club has replied to Colin Ashcroft club
Thanks for this Colin. Just seen your stile which is like the ones we know and love. Far better in wood than this iron-works.

Cheers and keep cool in the coming days. Herb
