Accidental Pilgrim - Author
http://www.accidentalpilgrim.com/about/index.html
I'm a 34 year-old writer, journalist and Internet-type person, recently moved from Dublin to Santa Fe, New Mexico. I grew up in England, raised by an Irish mother and an English father, and have the gall to cheer for both teams. My Dad had been a jazz musician, and together with my mother created a home that was a little more relaxed than the others in my Home Counties street. The day job is as a web developer with my own firm, Moore Consulting. Yeah, but why? I did the trip in the summer and autumn of 2...

A frustrating and fascinating man, he wrote the earliest surviving letters by an Irish person, and is perhaps the first examples of a classic Irish archetype - the exile who travels overseas and enjoys great success, but always longs for home. However, the Church as Columbanus knew it from Ireland placed greater emphasis on...

http://www.accidentalpilgrim.com/photographs/index.html
I took a lot of photographs, and while I'm no great photographer, the law of average dictates that some of them were going to turn out OK. I include the best of the bunch here, as well as some that might not be so great, but show something or somewhere specifically described in the book (such as the Gallusbrau beer sign, or Columbanus's cave near Annegray.

Accidental Pilgrim - The Journey

The journey took place during the summer and early autumn of 2001. Two thousand miles, eight countries, from Northern Ireland to northern Italy. Here I provide a synopsis of the route, country by country, and give a little more information on what I brought with me, and what I was singing as I rode along. This first leg of the trip took me from Dublin to Bangor, and then from Dublin down to the ferry at Rosslare for the start of the big push to Italy. Switzerland, Austria, Liechtenstein and Italy. Then i...
