16:08 - 20:08
Short 4 hour cycle on a nice afternoon? No.
Here's a brief history lesson-
The small fishing town of Rathmullan, County Donegal, in the northwest of Ireland witnessed a key event in Irish history - the end of the old Gaelic order. From this spot 400 years ago, a small ship left for Spain. On board were the chieftains of some of the leading Gaelic families of Ulster... with the hope either of making a new life for themselves, or of living to fight another day.

The Earls didn't make their intended destination of Spain, ending up in Italy instead. They had no satnav. So if these lads make a mess of it (as any bookie with a brain would be sure they will), then at least they can say they are in keeping with the spirit of the Earls.
