To be free from giddiness is definitely a must for a real extreme backgammon player! Especially if you want to enjoy a nice spot and play a nice backgammon match at the same time. This picture shows the rope bridge built to access Carrick-a-Rede island in county Antrim/North Ireland. Originally built to assist slamon fishery, the swinging rope bridge is now a perfect place for real extreme backgammon hardcore! As usual – click on the picture to see the high resolution image – we are not faking here!!!

You´re lucky! It´s beastly!!! Anyway – the trip into the desert was definitely worth it! It starts to be fun when you are used to sitting on a camel without thinking about John Wayne! And thats the point where backgammon comes in place! I can´t remeber who made it, but oolong was a strong opponent!

Two individuals and a backgammon board – thats all you need to enjoy a good game and the great view at the same time! Off course I doubled the palm out in a thrilling 7 point match! By the way: Do not play versus cows in Gokarna! They are much more aggressive than the holy ones in Arambol ;-)

Arambol is great! Especially when you are playing a relaxed Backgammon during the impressive heat in the afternoon! But I can tell you: our cow here knows how to roll the dices… :-)
