Quickest route to Coleraine?

Does anyone know the quickest route from ahoghill to coleraine? Need to be in coleraine at 8.30. Was going to go the back roads (through portglenone) but was wondering if the main road towards Ballymoney would be better. Was worried about traffic at that time?
I like my money right where I can see it - hanging in my closet.;)

  • Ahoghill - Rasharkin - Kilrea - Coleraine, no need to go towards Portglenone

    The main road will be very busy, better to use the route above. Out of Ahoghill, head towards cullybackey.

    P.S. This is too late for you now anyway, as I've just noticed you had to be there hours ago!

    You must have taken the third rather than the second exit at the roundabout in Kilrea and headed for Ballymoney. I would normally recommend the main roads (A26) but roadworks between Ballymoney and Coleraine are making that route a no-no for the next few weeks. Good luck!

    Actually the Belfast bus isn't a great thing because it brings Belfast people to Coleraine.

    Only if people actually get on it though. It really should be travelling up empty!

    Oh and when did people stop making fun of Larne? What changed?:confused: It used to be the best thing in Larne was the boat out of it!:D
