Walking to the Most Remote Place in Ireland - The Bangor Trail in Mayo EP - 43 & 44
In this episode, I walk what is probably the most challenging trail in Ireland. To be honest, the tricky parts are not on camera as it was too difficult to video those parts when i was at risk of falling so often and damaging the camera. I was also completely WRECKED!
Apologies but episode 42 is missing due to malfunctions with my iPad. You can watch on the Facebook page if you really want.
PS. sorry for the delay in posting. I try to upload videos every day but YouTube is so slow and the signal is often not strong enough. My FB page for Derek Cullen outdoors has regular updates !
By the way, wondering whats in my bag? Check here
Thank you so much to my two sponsors @BDifferent and @ElkRecruitment and @Hiiker App :)
Also, Huge thanks to the kind souls who have “bought me a coffee” (link below) as a tip for making these videos - you are the BEST :)
About the Walk - I am walking around Ireland. I will be sleeping in a tent and it will take approx 3 months to complete the journey. I was initially just walking to the Great Blasket Islands but things change and I have decided to continue walking all the way around Ireland and back to my starting point in Dublin.
And in case you might be asking yourself, I am walking around Ireland because I really enjoy walking.
