This was one of the hardest cycles I have ever gone on . I thought I had avoided the mountains but no . I seemed to be going up all the time and it took me ages to get to Armagh . I then cheated as I just went on the direct route from Armagh to Portadown . Very busy but quicker and less of the hills . I had done 8 - 9 hills I think and motst were quite steep and I must admit that I walked a lot of them . When I came into Armagh I could not find its centre and I ended up in this coffee shop , so on my way to Portadown I just took the direct route as I was exausted . I also found a restuarent on the way just beyond the Observatory. To come back to the cycle , it was a lovely one but cold enough for June but the south of Eire was very hot all week , and really too hot to go on . So I went up north . One disaadvantage was that it was very windy from the North and quite cold . Ya cant win. But apart from all that it was a great cycle but the neat time I go to Armagh I think I will go from Portadown or even from Lisburn
