The team now barely pauses for even the most dangerous-looking traffic, only slowing down where caught in the slipstream of passing trucks.
We hit a good pace, if only to escape the surrounding dreariness.
Beyond Cloonboo, we came into more normal countryside and its attendant charms; the warning against trespass into one field came in the form of a handmade sign reading simply "Poison on Lands".
A good break was had in Headford and, with Centra rolls all round, we were ready to shuffle off again onto Shrule and the beginnings of Co. Mayo. We had a photoshoot with a lovely man named Ray, who was nevertheless pleased to inform us that "I can't imagine why the Indo wants this". Afterwards, we took a ride with Grennan's dad Adam to the family home on Lough Corrib, there to horse some chicken and rice into us and spend the night in the deepest of sleeps.
