So I have now finished the first of many treks to come. Probably not the most challenginf trek in the world but proved quite tough for me and also gave me some insight in how it will be to travel the world with over 20kgs onmy back. I am now in quite some pain from blisters and muscle pain in my legs!!! So myself and Steven started from Crone car park in Glencree where we head for Djouce Mountain in Wicklow (725m).As this was my first tough trek with weight it prved quite stressfull. We must of takin our first break around an hour after leaving the car park and reached a the top of a few large hills. After an hour the legs were feeling the pain around the top of the quads, I was ... read more

It's over. Our relationship just hasn't been working for a while, and now, this is it. I'm leaving you to find my inner pig. I know this isn't a good time. Fact is, I cannot continue being second best. That said, I just can't continue with this relationship any longer. I am going to have some fun, let my hair down. I will be in touch with you soon. Yours PIG... :) ... read more

THE WICKLOW WAY The Wicklow Way is Ireland’s most popular way marked trail- winding over 100 kilometres through the high heather hills south of Dublin. It’s proximity to the city means that at its northern end at least, it gets a fair amount of traffic. That said, as its Ireland, it’s still very quiet and you can walk for miles without meeting more than a handful of fellow travellers. In the past year we’ve walked both ends but for some reason we never managed to cook up a plan to do the remoter ‘middle bit’ south of Glendalough between Aughavannagh and Moyne. Just after Christmas we resolved to do something about this mental Bermuda Triangle and got ourselves sorted with some accommodation in Aughavannagh valley in the pretty Aughavannagh Cottage - a lovely Irish cottage to ... read more

Well, our final day of holidays... tomorrow we fly home... we've had an amazing trip but are looking forward to our pillows and pug. Yesterday we continued driving through the South coast of Ireland. A beautiful country... although I never thought I'd see so much rain in the summer!!! Apparently Dublin was flooded out the day after we left - let's hope it is back to normal when we arrive tonight! We will be in contact with most of you shortly! :)... read more

English Weve arrived in Ireland (and im not quite sure how the keyboards here work so excuse my punctuation), the towns are very pretty. Were traveling along the coast down to Cork where we;ll work in an organic farm for 2 months. Weve only been here three days, in Dublin we stayed in a youth hostel, the first cheap one weve found so far (8 dollars per person). Unfortunately weve found no other hostals in the same price range, last night the cheapest accomodation we could find was for 60$ in a bed and breakfast(there doesnt seem to be a lot of camping along our route). So far the price of living seems to be higher than in Spain and Portugal, well just have to get used to it. We had a great breakfast this morning ... read more
