The lads are slowly gathering in Troon to catch the ferry to Larne.  Just time for a bit of hydration in the Harbour Bar, Troon.

As usual we’re running a book on ho will be last to arrive.  Those who know the group will have already guessed the answer to that one.

The ferry leaves at 7.30pm and should arrive in Ireland for 10 and then we’ll travel a mile or so to Humphrey’s at Rathmore where we will spend the night.  With luck we’ll have time for a quick bite to eat, before we start or 2nd annual pool,basketball & darts tournament at the hostel.

As usual we will no doubt fail to get enough sleep – excellent preparation for the early start to 76 mile first day.
