From Ballygar to Ballinlough and on to Monasteraden

Jimmy was my guide and mentor along the Suck Way assisted by his daughter Bridget. it was a wonderful day and Mount Mary and Glinsk were our focus. Mount Mary was a resting place for OSullivan Beare and despite their hopes Glinsk did not provide them with food supplies and again encountered opposition. Jimmy's warmth, sharing of information and hospitality of both himself and his wife Mary made it a very special day and we reached Ballinlough at 6.30pm to be greeted by public representatives of the local community.

Thursday morning and both Andy and Dave were on hand to see me through it and very much like Felim OFlynn to OSullivan Bere welcomed me to their clan land. We had a fantastic day and with the assistance of Comhairleoir Seamus de Cogan we followed the original route and bypassing Ballaghaderreen. We had a great day and Lin and Dave were so generous in their time and care and my sincere thanks to all the people of Galway, Roscommon and Sligo for their hospitality and my apologies for getting Roscommon mixed up with Galway
