BENCHMARKS continued
The great days of the benchmark hunts may have drawn to
a close, but Benchmarker still likes to travel prepared should an
eventuality present itself. And so it was when visiting North Donegal
recently on a different type of quest. And there the village of
Ramelton has seen better times. These days when one contemplates the
remains of what were once admirable buildings, sadly it's a somewhat
pitiful sight. Bagging this one offered no consolation as
Benchmarker and companion departed with a heavy heart.

junction with Back Lane.
