Connor Pass, 1400 feet high
The biggest climb we would try
Nervous start in the wet
We made it no sweat
The other side was sunny and dry<\/p>

We barrelled along to Ardfert
For Ballyheigue the coast we did skirt
A tea that was cordial
By Casement\u2019s memorial
But why does my backside still hurt?<\/p><\/div>

To Ballybunion we arrived with a sprint on
It\u2019s a place that reminds me of Frinton
Cheap and tawdry feel
But a good Chinese meal
By the statue of William J Clinton<\/p>

To the Exchange for more music & beer
Dermot\u2019s fingerwork fancy & clear
Stand-up-Tony, demented
Johnny Cash reinvented
First, as ever, \u201cFrom Clare to Here\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
