Some of the key people to help recently..








Day 40: Catching up...

Well what can I say about the last week? It has certainly contained some of the highest highs and lowest lows. Injury, vomiting and beauty all packed into over 100 miles walked. I've met some treasures. Here are some of the highlights..

Day 21: Exploring Howth

Today was a relaxed day. I explored the harbour in Howth where I am staying with Grainne. Dave, owner of The Country Market, was kind enough to give me some lasagne for lunch. I have just me Brian, Grainne's partner, and we are off for some food and early night, before heading off to my final Irish destination...Dublin!

Day 16: Newry to Dundalk (15 miles)

Great day making a short film with Pat and a host of his friends. Watch this space for the upload. Then a quick 15 mile walk down to Dundalk to keep the miles ticking over. Off to John's gig tonight for some live music and perhaps the odd Guiness?? Loving Ireland both north and south because the people are just so warm and welcoming.

Day 15: Banbridge to Newry (13 miles)

It's half past the witching hour and I am in bed. Time is slipping away for loading my recent films from the last few days. I will get on it as soon as I have space but it only means that I am meeting the most wonderful people to spend the time with. Massive thanks to Neal, David and Sandra near Hillsborough for such a wonderful stay. Neal you are a legend.

I am with Pat in Newry at the moment and he is making me feel so welcome I can't tell you all enough. It has been great to meet a host of people already including Pat, Gerry and Francis who have helped me plan the next stage over coffee. After my walk tomorrow we are all heading off to Carlingford to listen to some music.


There is so much more to tell and share but I need sleep to get me through tomorrow...so watch this space...more anon. Peacex

Day 13: Sad to leave Belfast but happy to reach Lisburn (15 miles)

Days 10-12: Loving Belfast..leave tomorrow

I have loved every minute in Belfast from my on air chat with Alan Simpson followed by the meal at Deane's Deli through to the days exploring with Nicky, Patrick, Tim and Emily to a fantastic evening with Ethna and Jemma and then to meet the wonderful Fred, Catherine, Patrick, Thomas, Rowan, Peter and finally to stay with the lovely Una and Mal. What a great bunch of people who have made my time in Belfast truly memorable including The Land of Giants, The Titanic Building, Stormont, Queen's University, The Ulster Museum, The Peace Walls, The Murals, The Mac Gallery and so much more to boot. THANK YOU EVERYONE for your kind support.
