In bright sunshine, I'm on my way into BT45. Whisper it, but this could be the day the curse comes to an end.
Slieve Gallion pans into view to my right, the sun sharpening the image and greening the landscape in between.
A decorative sign with what appear to be miniature castle towers on either side, welcomes drivers to Desertmartin, 'centre of Loughinsholin'.
There are a handful of cars making their way through the village. A few tractors chug their way through as I park down near the bridge.
