A few snaps (courtesy of my colleague Tommy Weir) from Wednesday's launch for #ThePathlessLand in Liber Bookshop in Sligo. A really lovely evening - and a great contingent of our brilliant ATU Sligo Writing & Literature students in attendance.

Galway people! I'll be talking about #ThePathlessLand at Charlie Byrne's on Thursday at 6pm - free event; come along for chats about my 678km walk across Ireland and why this place has the worst countryside access in Europe. There will probably be wine...

I took @hawhitek.bsky.social for a ramble on the banks of the Shannon to chat about the new book, #ThePathlessLand, the lack of countryside access here and Ireland's network of lost historical footpaths, hidden away behind the "no trespassing" signs. Great to see his write-up in the Independent.

I was on the radio this morning, chatting with Philip Boucher-Hayes about countryside access in Ireland. Starts about 15 mins in. A shame Keep Ireland Open got Trumped from the schedule. Join them if you think we need better access to the Irish landscape. #ThePathlessLand

A very nice little review of #ThePathlessLand in Country Life here - masterful concision from Laura Parker, who's managed to give a very thorough overview in about 400 words. You probably don't actually need to read the book now...
