Practice joining and leaving faster routes on longer runs towards Belfast to get used to higher speeds. Expect limited street lighting at night and slurry or slow-moving tractors in harvest season. If you go for a test in Belfast, rehearse Boucher Road approaches and junctions you will meet in the city.
