Breaking : The 2022 Ulster Grand Prix will take place on the Dundrod circuit from 16-20 August 2022.

The 2020 event looked unlikely to happen because of the crippling debts which left the meeting without an organising committee but ultimately the race was cancelled because of the coronavirus pandemic and the 2021 race suffered a similar fate.

The race will now be resurrected by the Revival Racing Motorcycle Club and will celebrate its centenary this year.

“We understand the unique appeal of the Ulster Grand Prix to riders and fans alike, and we are delighted to bring racing back to this famous track,” read a statement from the new organising club.

“It’s been a very uncertain time for the sport because of coronavirus and we can’t wait to hear bikes roaring down the flying kilo again this summer.

“We are indebted to the volunteers at the Ulster Grand Prix for their collaboration and continuing hard work to stage this famous race in its centenary year.

“More details of the week-long race week programme will be announced soon.”

Solar Eclipse : 20th March 2015 : Northern Ireland :

The Solar Event of the decade is how it has been described and this morning from about 8.30 am until almost 10.00 am a partial solar eclipse occurred over our skies. The previous two days could only be described as glorious in relation to the weather so it was very disappointing to wake up to a grey, overcast and ultimately rainy morning.

Obviously the eclipse won’t stop on account of the weather however a small miracle occurred and just as the eclipse was reaching its maximum point a little break opened up in the clouds giving a good view of the event and even letting me snap a few photos :

I also put together a time lapse video, unfortunately the cloud cover is too much for my GoPro but it does show the difference in light quite nicely and let’s face it time lapse videos are cool! Check it out here : (The water does get dried off giving a proper view when the rain stops)
