Day three: Donegal Town - Collooney

Day three: Donegal town – Collooney

8.45 am & leaving the hostel the temperatures were already 16 degrees. A sign of things to come… the day was only getting hotter! We had another new comer to the group as Valerie made her debut in the jubilee cycle &
No trip to Sligo would be complete without a visit to the grave of WB Yeats. From there we made our way into Sligo town to find a bicycle repair shop in order to get a pump for Kevin, this shop was to prove vital later in the day… read on to find out more!
On arriving in Strandhill being Monday morning the lads were in work mode so we stopped off for quick call to the pharmacy & the gps surgery! Heading down to the beach and on a day like this you can only describe it as amazing! Left to right as far as the eye can see was an amazing sandy beach, but dotted around the car park signs read NO SWIMMING which was a disappointment for some!
After some light refreshments on we went but after only two mins on the road disaster struck… Word filtered through to us that Ken was in trouble, a spoke had broke! We rushed to be at his side! As his bike was loaded into the van we darted towards the bicycle A&E in Sligo town we had visited earlier in the day. Panic over bike was fixed in half an hour and Ken was on his way again!!
The enthusiasm for work did not stop in Strandhill another call was made to the Surgery in Tobercurry.
So today as it’s the longest day of the year we have decided to have another bbq @ the lovely cottages we are renting for the night in Collooney… not before myself Ciaran, Kevin & Robbie have a quick swim in Strandhill, lovely way to round off an amazing day! Will keep ye all posted to let ye know how we go!
And again guys thank you for all your support and keep the donations coming in and we'll definitely make our target of €20,000 for Barnardos!
