Some great photographs by Spanish pilgrim walker, Oihana Trojaola, taken yesterday while taking part on the second day of the Tóchar Phádraig walk to Croagh Patrick. There were 33 finishers in Murrisk with 6 of these completed the full Irish Pilgrim Journey and thus becoming eligible for the award of a Teastas Oilithrechta from Ballintubber Abbey
In far from ideal conditions, we has another criochnóir completing her Teastas yesterday on the Tochar Phadraig, Co Mayo..She is Anastasia Ossoukhava from Victoria, Australia and she thus becomes the first Australian to complete the Irish Pilgrim Journey. Anastasia, success now means that, this year, the Irish Pilgrim Paths have had críochnóirí representing Canada, Holland, Portugal and Australia.
Another Teastas winging its way today from Ballintubber Abbey to Deirdre Anne Breegan - the first person from Offaly to complete the full Irish Pilgrim Journey. Heartiest congratulations, Deirdre
Another chance to see The Camino Voyage in Bray next Saturday, the 13th of October.
