An Trek Fada

AN TREK FADA – PART DO

This is the proposed route and distances for the second phase of An Trek Fada. Some lessons were learnt from the first one – so in the event of excessive pain or injury – I agree that I will walk everything up to and including 253km before the 15 May 2015 in New Ross in a Bikini.

AN TREK FADA – THE ORIGINAL

An Trek Fada is a charity walk from Belfast to Wexford with 4 nautical themed stops along the way.

Starting on 5th May 2014 at 10am at the Titanic Centre in Belfast, I will walk to the Jeanie Johnson in Dublin, and then on via N11 to Dunbrody Famine Ship, and finally finishing in Wexford on the Quay near the NRLI / Bridge

The proposed route as follows:

Day 4 – 21.6km
Day 5 – 25.3km
Day 6 – 16.4km
Day 7 – 25.2km
Day 8 – 25.5km
Day 9 – 20.7km Total 215.7km

Please note: When the original route was set out, it had urban hubs at the centre of it, but should the walk have been the most direct walking route from Titanic Centre to Wexford it would be 364km.

Due to an injury, I have had to start taking the shortest route where possible, so An Trek Fada is still from Belfast to Wexford via New Ross, but currently 33.9km shorter.
