Day 6 complete it was a nice sunny warm day today, which gave me a chance to take it easy and look around. There where some steep hills, but the good thing about going up is going down. Not very far to go just hope my ankle holds and don’t get any worse.

Day 3 is finally over 96km of wind and heavy rain at times. I want to say thanks to Dennis in the oak bar in Ballyhaunis for the coffee and donation, after stopping outside he told me to come in out of the rain. Also to Alan in the Corralea court hotel in Tuam for the shower, the small things in life can make a big difference. I can’t believe how nice people on my route have been it renews my faith in people. Thanks everyone. Also to Janet and the kids for following and putting up with me love you all.
