The problem with doing some cleaning is that it simply draws attention to all the bits you decided you couldn't be bothered to tackle.

A little weekend break. Will be climbing Sliabh Liag tomorrow.

I got an empty hostel and an empty pub.
Great place. There was a series filmed there some 25 years ago called 'Murder in Paradise'. I drove there once and arrived in the evening at the pub where some of it was filmed. we were out of Petrol and asked the landlord where we might buy a few litres to get us back to civilisation .... he opened the till, removed some keys walked across the road, opened-up a petrol pump and served us! Hoorah!
Magnificent place, I must return.

Roarty's bar. I'm sitting in it right now! TV program was called Murder in Eden.

It's only 60 odd miles from where I live but this is only my second visit. First was earlier this year by bike as part of a tour. It's a seriously tough ride on a loaded touring bike. I drove here today but with the weather I wish I'd cycled!

The coastal route via Donegal town avoids the Ghleann Geis Pass and would be an easier bike route but it's longer and is mostly busy national primary road.

That's the place and the series.., Roartys bar!
I was working a lot in Ireland then. On that trip I was mostly In Enniskillen and a lot of weeks in Craigavon. I'd fly home on a Friday, grab a takeaway and just get in front of the telly to watch murder in Eden! Was a good series. You are very lucky :-)

Enniskillen area very nice too and it's a stone's throw from north Leitrim/Sligo which imo offers some of the best cycle routes in the entire country. Anywhere in the Ben Bulbin region - coast or mountain, take your pick and the roads are deserted apart from the odd stray poet on the Yeats trails.
