h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

The outer harbour wall is quite a walk round from the station, but very nice to walk along. Passing the lifeboat station (two lifeboats) a memorial to those lost at sea and the very pleasent looking Howth Yacht Club.
While I was there I saw a garda van and minibus pull up (with a couple of worried looking people watching to see what they wanted). They were over for a dive by the look of it as the van was full of dive gear and was towing a rib behind it.

There is a poem I read to the effect that Dun Loaghaire harbour is perpetually sad knowing that she looks out across the bay to the much prettier harbour at Howth but that the latter will forever be hidden behind the headland itself.

They have started putting fences around the cliff walk. This is in response to the fact that a couple of people a year "fall" to their deaths from there. It is only when these have been put up and totally ruined the still wild scenery that the authorities will cop on to the fact that these people aren't falling at all.
