title	Minard Beach and Ceol Agus Craic, Lios Póil, Kerry - 6th August 2017
intro	In the morning, we drive just up the road to Minard Beach, home of the mid-16th-century Minard Castle, which defied Oliver Cromwell's attempt to destroy it with explosives in 1650. It's pretty rainey, but it's still a nice hour or two messing around, where the boys discover an actual Sea Monster - a smelly blob of mutant tentacles which turn out to be a load of Goose barnacles stuck to a rope. Then, after the Féile Lios Póil in the nearby community centre, the village de-camps to O'Sullivan's bar just up from the house, where not only is there some trad music, but it's also the semi-final of the all-Ireland Hurling championships on TV, featuring vaguely-local Galway versus Tipperary. The next day, we go back to Minard beach, where the weather's a bit better.
