Taking in the sights on their way to the Limerick Poetry Festival, Dara remains nervous that Griff and Rory's behaviour (and in particular their Irish jokes) will embarrass him in his homeland. His two companions are in their element, seeing the trip as the perfect opportunity to irritate Dara. The trio begin by sailing down the river Shannon in the best weather Ireland has had in years, stopping off along they way to visit a friend of Dara's who happens to live in Ireland's most haunted castle. They must then face sailing through the terrifying Ardnacrusha, Europe's largest lock. Arriving in Limerick, Dara and Griff try a spot of power-boat racing, while Rory decides to host his own poetry festival for limericks only - the inaugural Limerick Limerick Competition. The journey ends with a trip to the stunning Aran Islands, where the Three Men take a Galway hooker (a traditional sailing boat) to visit the megalithic fort of Dun Aengus.
