Walking in Belfast City, Slieve Gullion, part ii
Presenter
Rory O’Connor
About
Comedian and author Rory O ’Connor from Rory’s Stories completes his second trail in Northern Ireland and changes into his walking boots to experience the mysticism of the famous Ring of Gullion. Here he walks two of Slieve Gullion’s routes, a family trail, and then the main trail, which is a climb to the top of Slieve Gullion. Brian Hoey, a local mountain guide keeps Rory company on the first section of the Slieve Gullion climb and he meets Odhran Murphy a local singer songwriter who discusses the impact, both positive and negative, that social media has had on his career and how being outside helps him re-set. Having written books on mental health, Rory understands the benefits of being outside for our mental and physical well being and before he takes his leave at the end of the show he encourages the viewers to get outside and get walking.
