Yesterday was my 3rd walk of the year. I took a trip to Kilmeadan, Co. Waterford to walk some of the Waterford Greenway with Camino Society Ireland. The weather forecast wasn't great but the skies were clear when we left Dublin and we had a pleasant walk. It was 11 km in total from Kilmeadan …

I'm not one for countdowns (ok..I am!) but it is just under 3 months before I wander to the south of Ireland and start the Kerry Camino. This is a relatively short trail compared to the ones I am used to in Spain and Portugal but the thought of just walking with a pack is …
With two weeks planned for a Camino in September / October 2020, the question remains what I will do for the rest of the year. I certainly won't stay at home and I can't see myself jetting off on another Camino (unfortunately). With many waymarked trails and pilgrim paths on my doorstep, I have a …
I have walked the first 30km of the Celtic Camino in advance of my trip to Spain, having walked from Bray to St James's Church in Dublin. I walked with a friend Oihana in June 2017 on what would be the hottest day of the year. It was a fun day! --- Early Friday morning …

The majority of Europe has been feeling the effects of the so-called "Beast from the East" and Storm Emma since early last week. In Ireland, the country has been hit with 10-30cm of snow with drifting in many places. Added to that, blizzard conditions. Transport has been affected and many shops and offices have decided …

For the last number of the months, the Camino Society of Ireland has been promoting their inaugural photo contest. People from all around the world have been submitting photos of their time on the Camino. There were a number of categories and prizes for each category.

If you live in Ireland, or even in Europe, you will know of the weather we have had over the last week. As I type, Storm Brian is passing over this part of the world blowing winds and delivering rain to parts of southern Ireland. However, Storm Brian's predecessor, Ex-Hurricane Ophelia was far more destructive. …
Today, Camino Society Ireland launched its inaugural Photo Contest. It is open to all people who have walked the Camino, including the Celtic Camino. Those of you who read my blog would have taken many a photo while on Camino so now is your chance to submit a photo or two if you feel they …
Drowning in the busyness of life, and how I stay afloat, and find peace and stillness amidst the chaos
With my new novel Lost in the Fog soon-to-be published, in September of 2019 I embarked on a four month trip to France, Spain, Portugal, and the Caribbean.
