Some unusual visitors to Irish shores

NEW YEAR’S Resolution: walk more.

I walk an average of five hours a week, except when I’m researching a walking guide like my recent Scenic Walks in West Cork.

Usually, I walk when I have the time and the mood is on me. I generally spend two to three hours on the hoof of a Sunday afternoon, and twice or three times during the week. Which leaves intervals in which I can grow fat.
