This September, I will begin a self-supported FKT attempt of the International Appalachian Trail Ulster - Ireland, starting in Bunglass and ending in Larne. I am hoping to complete the ~280 mile trek in less than 10 days, and want to thank Glenn Bates for submitting the route and for his incredible video, which was a large part of the inspiration for this attempt.

Here's to long days, type II fun, and the opportunity to spend time in God's creation!
