- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- In this video I share with you my plan to hike the Ireland Way. This is notably my most ambitious hike to date. After flying from San Francisco, California, USA to Dublin, Ireland, catching two buses from Dublin to Cork, I finally arrive in the beautiful port town of Castletownbere to begin my hike of the Ireland Way.

As someone who has survived a couple of heart attacks, some stents and a bypass, all the while trying to continue my hiking, camping, and backpacking interests, I wish you luck and a great time.
Thank you. Just put one foot in front of the other.😁
Thank you for these videos! I'm 54, and have booked my first trip to Ireland for July 2024. I appreciate your channel as I'm also doing my best to remain active in the outdoors. Blessings
Thanks Tara. I love Ireland. 🇮🇪
Ireland is on my bucket list and now, after watching this film I have to plan the trip for 2025 :D This country looks fantastic. Thank You Sir.
You’re quite welcome. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. 😁
Thank you for taking us along! The country is breathtakingly beautiful! Wow! Thank you!
You’re welcome. I hope you enjoy the journey.😁
Walking with you Rev. Wish I were in reality. I have a small percentage if Irish blood in me and have always had a heart for Ireland. I pray blessings on you and will be tuning in and praying for you. Blessings!
Thanks Gary. Thank you for coming along with me.😁
I’m down right now with a bad knee watching you. Love you. Keep hiking Rev. ❤
Thank you Jennifer. I hate that about your knee. Hope you have a speedy recovery.😁
Rev first off I watched your PCT hike and you inspired me to do more hiking and Im recovering from knee surgery and plan on a 2025 PCT hike at the ripe ole age of 50. And my last name is Faherty and ancestors are from Ayran Island and County Gallway area of Ireland. Cannot wait to see this hike. Enjoy every minute of your great adventure.
Thank you. I will. Good luck on your PCT Hike. 😁
That's awesome you are getting to hike there
Thanks. 😁
I will be following. Did the West Highland Way, Scotland in 2022. I am looking at Ireland in 2024. So I will be following closely to get some ideas. "May the roads rise to meet you, may the wind be always at your back, may the sun shine warm upon your face, and the rain fall soft upon your fields, and until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollowof his hand."
Thanks Denise. For the wonderful Irish blessing. I’m looking at Scotland. May be for next year.😁
Seeing this trip makes me remember several visits to Ireland N + S , Dublin, Cavan, Navan, Cobh, Waterford on motorbikes in my 30s. 20+ years ago. Look out for midges / mosquitoes in the summer.
Ireland is a beautiful country with even more beautiful people. I’ve already experience the midges. 😳Sláinte
Me and my wife, who is Irish , spent the whole month of July in Ireland. Two weeks in the Canamara area in the west coast and two weeks in Donegal. Love your channel and thanks for sharing your adventures.
Beautiful country. I’ll be back in Ireland in May to finish my hike. 😁
I love Ireland. Some of Mom's side comes from there. It's lovely there.
Yes. It is very beautiful. 😁
Can't wait to experience your trip with you, brother.
Thanks Bob. Hope you enjoy the journey.😁
I look forward to seeing Ireland through your eyes. Thank you for letting us tag along.
Thanks Skippy. I hope you enjoy the journey. Sláinte!😁
I waited until you were done, Here is Michigan the trees have pretty much dropped their leaves and snow is in the North, coming towards lower Michigan. I figured binge watching you would be a nice thing while the weather outside isn't the best!!!! So sorry if my comments are 2 months late, but I'm still your cheerleader!!!!
Thank you Stephen. I had to get off Trail because of a situation back home but I’ll be back next year.😁
Rev, indeed I will follow along! You may have given me a new goal for a thru hike at age 70! The land of my ancestors as well! Best wishes as you embark on this journey! Can’t wait to see more videos!
Thanks. Hope you enjoy them. 😁
So very glad you have this opportunity!! Enjoy and stay safe!!
Thanks Randy. I’ll try. 😁
Awesome! This is near the top of my bucket list.

I am so glad this popped up in my notifications.....I was wondering what you would be up to next. This will be a fabulous hike! I have never been to Ireland, but have been to the UK. A goal of mine is to hike the TransPennine Trail in northern England. I would also like to do some hiking in the Highlands of Scotland, as I have Scottish ancestry. I am really going to enjoy your adventures...God bless your journey!
Thank you, Ruth. I would like to hike in England and Scotland as well. I hope you enjoy coming along with me on my journey. Sláinte! 😁
Nice to see you back, Rev! Following. You’re in a gorgeous country.
Thanks for following along. Ireland is a beautiful country with even more beautiful people. Sláinte. 😁
Thank you for the wonderful videos. I have some Irish heritage as well, and would love to hike in Ireland but doubt that I ever will. I'll enjoy seeing the island through your eyes and getting ideas for my retirement.
