About
Packie is accompanied by Inga Bock who knows every inch of the Bluestacks. They start in Donegal town and move out to the Ballybofey road along to the shore of Lough Eske before they reach the foothills of the Bluestacks. Along the way they meet Patsy McNulty, a local man, who explains what the famous famine pot is. In Disert, they meet Anne Leonard at an old altar which also had a part to play in local history as it is a pre-Christian site. Packie comes across one of the farmers from the locality and they stop to discuss his old homestead and how things have changed in Donegal.
