At Derry T.I.O. I met Elene Michaelides who stamped and signed my stage 21 map.
She and the rest of the team also sponsored me £12.35. Thanks very much.

Entering Lifford and at County Donegal Council Offices 

The team I used to play footy for 20 years ago, Mountjoy United F.C. Great to see the portacabin changing rooms have been replaced by a proper club house. The best of luck in the season ahead.

In the pouring rain I arrive at the final county town of Omagh (home). 

We made it .......brilliant.
