Michael heads due south from Dundalk Bay to Mellifont Abbey and then makes his way over land to counties Monaghan, Cavan and Leitrim. In Monaghan he pays a visit to the Tyrone Guthrie Centre at Annamakerrig before heading off to Cavan for some riding lessons. He has to visit Ballyjamesduff for obvious reasons. Then it’s on to Leitrim, to find out way it’s Ireland’s least densely populated county. Michael finishes his time in Leitrim on a 48 kilometre hike from Manorhamilton to Drumshambo. Who knows what or who he’ll meet in the Leitrim Hills?
