Day 296 - Sunday, October 23rd, 2011

Despite the late retirement to quarters last night, breakfast was successfully negotiated, and with aplomb. The Newgrange offered a host of buffeted delights, with swathes of cereals, fruits, breads and freshly-fried slaughted meats to enjoy. After check-out, we sped to nearby Moor Park Golf Club - a basic but hilly and pleasant course for a round that started out pleasantly but soon turned inclement, with lashings of rain pouring down upon us. After 11 holes of penance, three of the four athletes decided that they had had enough, much to the fury of Daniels, who was having his best round of the year. There was little sympathy for him though, as he had prised over €30 from us by that stage. And as it turned out, the rain just got heavier and heavier.

Home by 4pm, the rest of the day was spent in an utterly splendid state of vegetation.

Contentment : 13.5 / 25
Excitement :    2 / 10
Memorability : 4 / 15

Overall Score : 39% (123rd out of 296)
