A wee spin to the 6 counties and the Free State.

Regarding the family thing it's all a bit odd. Everyone called my dad Colin but that's not his real name. He also has 2 birth certificates with 2 different spellings of his surname. His surname is spelt differently to the rest of his Irish family and mine is spelt differently to my mum, dad and sister. And everyone calls me Bill but my 1st name is Robert. The best of luck to anyone in the future trying to trace our family tree.
It is the summer FFS
I’m gutted you didn’t make it to Achill. Can you not go back tomorrow, it’s only round the corner….?
Really enjoying your RR, the family stuff makes it very real

Thanks.
I'll see what the weather's doing but it doesn't look like it's going to be much better. Unlike most of my more recent trips I've had to pre book everything and that's all based on a southward trajectory. But there's always next year, InshAllah.
Really enjoying this Robert/Bill/Tommy. Thanks
Definitely, my business sponsor the Team! The ‘name’ part of your story is fascinating. Also the honesty in your dad not bothered about the land etc in those days.

Really enjoying this Robert/Bill/Tommy. Thanks
And I'm really looking forward to your Germany report. Assuming you've not broken any more screens or dropped any more devices into cement. You're not related to Tricky are you?
Well the good news for you is that I'm on the ferry home on Thursday so you'll have beautiful weather all the way.
The area around Sligo is fabulous. Go inland and north if you can. Have a great trip. I believe Friday night is Hen Night night so I'm sure you will.
That's definitely a definite then. I'll seek you out. You'll know me, I'll be the one in the Celtic shirt.
Next stop.
Enjoy, it's a beautiful place especally if you're a fishermen
TY. I'll do my best.
I went to the cinema at the campsite in Cong. They show the Quiet Man every night.
Good work Bill. Enjoying following you on this trip.

Loving this, Bill...so envious of the weather you've encountered - not like the weeks of baking hot sun we had to endure! 
Your best just isn’t good enough for all those photos leaning on their side!
It’s just sloppy… download Snapseed or similar and get them the right way up.
You'll have to buy a flat cap.... It's a traditional Quiet Man requirement
And if you want to follow in John Wayne's footsteps you should buy the cap in Geraghty's menswear in Tuam (it's in east Galway so you won't be coming close).
