A Word for Jim Glancy 🚐🥾
Every gang has the one fella who is quietly getting everything sorted while everyone else is wondering what’s going on… and for Carrick Camino, that man is Jim Glancy! 😂
Jim is one of those people who rarely gets a mention but is always there and always ready to lend a hand. Transporting gear, moving things around, collecting the mucky boots that have been swapped for the clean ones, and generally sorting whatever needs sorting.
And then there’s the van… sure, you’d nearly expect to see Mr. T and the rest of the A-Team jumping out of it! 🚐😂
If someone gets into bother along the route, Jim is on it — a lift to the nearest rest stop, a spin to the finish, whatever is needed. No fuss, no drama, just “leave it with me.”
And that’s Jim all over. Reliable as they come.
So, thanks a million Jim, for all the time, effort and commitment you put into Carrick Camino. A huge amount of work happens behind the scenes, and you’re a big part of keeping the whole thing ticking along.
And when he’s not rescuing Camino walkers, Jim is busy running Glancys Bar & Glancys Accommodation here in Carrick-on-Shannon — a proper local institution with over 120 years of family hospitality behind it.
So if you’re coming back to Carrick, or bringing a gang with you, give Glancy’s a shout. Groups big or small are well looked after.
Thanks again Jim. Some man for one man — and fair play to you! 👏🚐🥾
