120 Days Around Ireland
The complete day-by-day journal from my solo kayak circumnavigation. Every paddle stroke, wildlife encounter, and wild camp documented.
Day 1: Setting Off From Dublin
The beginning of my 700-mile journey around Ireland. Nerves, excitement, and the first paddle strokes.
Day 15: Hook Head Lighthouse
Paddling past Europe's oldest working lighthouse and rounding the southeastern corner of Ireland.
Day 53: Cliffs of Moher and Doolin Session
Paddling beneath the towering Cliffs of Moher - the most dramatic day of the entire expedition.
Day 78: Rounding Malin Head
Ireland's northernmost point. The weather window finally opened after 4 days of waiting.
Day 95: Lost in the Connemara Fjords
Navigating the intricate waterways of Connemara - Ireland's wild west.
Day 120: Coming Home
The final paddle back to Dublin Bay. 700 miles, 120 days, and countless memories.
