How Many Counties Have You Been In.. In the same day?

starbelgrade

Today I drove through many counties. It reminded me of the "How many counties have you been in?" thread.

I did 10, in this order...

Sligo
Mayo
Galway
Clare
Limerick
Cork
Waterford
Tipperary
Offally
Roscommon

360 miles round trip. I'm fucking exhausted.

So how many have ye done in the same day?

I'm sure a true Carlovian will come in here and berate you!

But insult Dublin and you will be receiving another one of those awards

Started in Waterford City and then passed through:

Kilkenny.
Carlow.
Kildare.
Dublin.
Louth.
Cavan.
Monaghan.
Tyrone (This might be up for debate as to whether it should be included!)

Ended up finally in Donegal (Ballybofey), a six-seven hour trip.

OPENROAD

Plane diverted to Shannon, coached up to Dublin, how many counties would I have passed through?

Last week I went to visit a friend in Kildare and went along with her to Monaghan to pick up another friend, then over the border to the off licence.:

So in one day I was in 7 counties:
Laois
Kildare
Dublin
Meath
Louth
Monaghan
Armagh

You left out one I think.

If you left Waterford and drove along the N24 to get to Tipperary, then you crossed into Kilkenny for a little bit of your journey.

Limerick

I bet tomorrow (or, when I wake up later today) that there will be a thread titled:

"How many countries have you been in .. in the same day".

Course, it will get locked when a row breaks out cause some nerd says that technically when you are flying over Europe for instance, you are entering other country's airspace all the time and so that qualifies as being "In" those countries..

Course, if they see this post, they will make sure their OP has a clause preventing that .. so, I have in effect, changed the future, before it even happened.

Just call me Reece.

Go on the ferry at Belfast and travelled to the other side of Scotland in 5ft of snow. Had a small crash 20 mins from Edinburgh. next day traveled to the west midlands


5 days later did the trip backwards and got stopped at the ferry cause they thought we were IRA, long story, they wouldn't believe my dad was my dad either. eventually got loaded on the the lorry deck delayed the ferry for 1hour. Full scale security alert on ferry too, loads of army. It was an experience.
