NUMBER 840

BENCHMARKS continued



Next stop would be at Castleblaney - or Blaney, as it is referred to by the locals - in County Monaghan. As we turned off the N2 and on to the N53 for the town, M.C. although still silent, became temporarily agitated, as if somehow conflicted between a need to unburden himself, while simultaneously struggling to maintain a secret. However he revived and regained something of his old composure on spotting this one at the junction of Main Street with the R183.
