We Newtownstewart and headed to PlumBridge, got there at lunch time, so we stopped into the local Day Today ran by Pinkerton, caused enough of a scene walking in with our bags & wet gear on (it had been raining for well over a hour). The lady asked about us, then showed us to a little shelter for us to stay in to eat out of the rain, then she came back to us with 3packets of Mars Bars, Snickers & Twixes for us to have free, then she came back again and said all ur food you just bought in the store, Pinkerton is gona cover! So we eat free!
Eating free was good because we had a 24mile trek up through the Spirin Mountains, nothing but God beautiful countryside! Not even phone signal lol
Loads of great banter tho throughout the Ulster Way, amazing scenery )as told to us before) lots of photos taken, and Micheal controlling the local sheep! Good Times!
We eventually got into Tobermore just before 10pm with Gods help, lovely we stretch in the dark to!! We met up with the Rev Flaherty & his wife who made us burgers & hot dogs!! Such an unexpected surprise a well received by a bunch of hungry lads!
That's us over half way now, tomorrow Antrim then home to Carrickfergus!!
