Brian KitsonJun 15 2023, 12:00pmHaha, love it! You followed your own advice on choosing a date with plentiful daylight hours which follows recent weeks of drought. Godspeed to you, I trust your legs are like steel springs and your lungs are like hot air balloons.

Michael DowlingJun 18 2023, 1:20amWell done Peter.... very tough conditions
Eamonn HodgeJun 18 2023, 7:41amGreat work Peter. That rain coming down was unfortunate. I saw your error at Table Mountain and I made the same error during a recce. Soul destroying to have to go backwards! Well done!
Sean ForsythJun 18 2023, 8:48amWell done Peter

John MurrayJun 19 2023, 10:58amCongrats Peter on a great round in some tough weather conditions.
Peter O'FarrellJun 19 2023, 1:13pmThanks to Orla, Greg Byrne, Brian Furey and Paul Mahon for amazing support, everyone else for the well wishes and the cycling lads for their slightly mad enthusiasm near Djouce.
Couldn't have done it without the lads and most especially Orla, who had to juggle all the normal minding of 2 great boys along the extra minding of her third boy! Mighty woman.
Thanks again,
Peter
Stuart ScottJun 19 2023, 5:14pmWell done Peter, amazing running in those conditions! I'm sure you didn't mind the lack of blazing sunshine but the fog and drizzle can't have made the nav easy. Well done!

Eamonn HodgeJun 21 2023, 11:10amHi Patrik, can you create a new message on the forum. I suggest the title should be "Wicklow Way Attempt Patrik Albertsson 2023-06-23 14:15". That way we won't get confused with other people's attempts. Best of luck! I hope to attempt it in 2024.
