Portrush to Westport 21 August

Getting out of Portrush was made more interesting due to a failure of my GPS. So a very friendly chap in Londonderry found the fault and fixed it. So back into the hills of Ireland.
Stumbled across a "real pub". I hope I can find the picture, sadly they didn't serve food as there were some real charachters in there however the next publican made me a sandwich and I enjoyed a guinness and a yarn. He was lamenting the rather serious decline of the economy. He did however direct me to my destination for the night, Westport. Sadly it turned out to be more commercial than I had expected. In fact most of Ireland is aimed at the tourist. However they are a wonderful people with great humour, they play sport and have fun.
