Bonjour, I enjoyed watching your Puy en Velay via Podiensis walk with your sister Renee. I’m planning to walk it this Autumn. Now I’m enjoying your Northern Ireland walk. Wondering, are you of Irish descent? Bonne journée!

Impressive. Hiking in the rain over boggy fields with rocks and ferns as high as your waist. That is a hard 22+ miles.

The crazy American hiker come to Ballinascreen once again. So sorry we missed you this time. A bout two years ago Maria found you on the mountain one Sunday morning in the middle of a thunder storm. I think you made a KZbin video in our bathroom before heading off to Dungivin. Again sorry we missed you you were little 1 or 2 miles away from us

I was that close? I knew I was in the Sperrins when I met your family, just thought it was farther from where I was the last few days. Know that I often speak of your kindness to this very soggy hiker.😊

That Google map or whatever you used didn’t do you any favours after Taranto. You didn’t need to go on that busy road. Had you carried on up that hill and round the road, not only would you have enjoyed the most scenic walk you would also have enjoyed walking the canal path to Scarva where you ended up by walking that busy road. You were a bit unlucky with the weather. It’s normally better this time of year. It’s a lovely area to walk all year round.

@@joycedunnrogers8248 I know the area very well and I have barely noticed these signs. There are many short walks but this St Patrick’s Trail is not walked by many that I have seen. Yes you will get lots of walkers everywhere plus the canal path with bikes. The main thing is you kept going. Good luck.
