Kathryn Thomas embarks on her summer 2021 expedition from the most northerly point on the island of Ireland, Malin Head. Her mission is to meander the western seaboard in her campervan for four weeks until she can’t go any further, crossing the finish line at the most southern tip of Ireland, Mizen Head.  Kathryn announced in June that her second baby is due this winter. 

"So literally….I cannot keep our news in any longer 😅.... Pádraig, Ellie Conor and myself are over the moon and feel incredibly grateful to be be able to share our news. Our little family is about to grow. All’s well…. I feel great and we cannot wait."
