This map follows my planned path and milestones. Zoom in to get an idea of the terrain, villages, and landmarks I’ll be passing!
Departing Mizen Head signal station, dandering along rugged peninsulas, and pushing past Killarney National Park.
Crossing the Shannon, trekking exposed limestone tracks over the Burren, resting in Galway city.
Navigating Nephin National Park, up the Sligo coast, and tackling a blustery Donegal towards Malin Head.
Pushing through 900 kilometres of unpredictable Irish weather is tough enough, but does not compare to the real weight carried by those with health crises. 100% of your donation is split evenly between the two charities.
