Battle of Newry RoadBattle · 2.2 mi

Explorer Tom Creggan Bane Glebe Church has been around since the medieval era and still hasn’t left. It probably has strict rules about who can park in the graveyard. Hum something sad nearby, it adds to the atmosphere.

Explorer Tom Operation Conservation in County Armagh is just the weather having a long, bitter grudge against the military and expressing it through rain. It’s nature vs. man, but the man brought guns. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle, maybe?
