Another hero gone. Very sad.

I hadn't heard of Tim Robinson but have just been reading about him

I too have fallen in love with Wild Atlantic Way over the past decade - starting at the Beara Peninsula and later Donegal with bits in between.

It has been heartening to read the tributes to Aubrey Burl- though to some extent I wish someone else had started this topic. I know a few people who have actually met him and I'm afraid I have no such claim having taken most of my inspiration from the people (past and present) who have contributed to this forum/website. Having said that Burl's work and books live on and I intend to add to the one I already have - current situation allowing of course.
