A lot of folks reading this will be Facebook users and may wonder why on earth should anyone need to write any kind of “How to ….” because there can be a throw off “anyone can use Facebook” attitude. To me this is a bit like getting vague directions to a place that ends with “ ….. can’t miss it” which usually leads into getting lost for hours trying to find the place I am told I “cant miss”. So, this is my discovery of Facebook that I would like to share with you. It was my daughter, Ivy... Read Full Story

Phew! Just returned from the petrol/gas station after my first diesel fill up costing €90. Last month was my first fill costing over €80 after a few years of fill ups costing around €70. €20 jump, about 22.5% rise in fuel costs within two months is making me think about how to provide future tours with value without raising my prices. The fast thinking solution is to serve future tours more walking and cycling along with much more relaxing still quiet time and far less minibus travel... Read Full Story

Last year I filled a lot of my Celtic Ways tours bookings through inquiries through my Celtic Ways web site. This year, I am finding that most inquiries to me start from my blog and social sites placements. Business for me this year is as good, maybe a little better, than last year, but visits to my web site are way, way down. At first, I thought it was my design, my coding for SEO skills or general text wording that was failing but from talking to others and looking at other stats I see... Read Full Story

I am always encouraging our visitors to start and end their visit to Ireland via our local Knock Airport. No scuffling and delays with security and administration. Always a relaxed arrival and departure. Unfortunately, we still do not have the return of transatlantic flights but we do have a new schedule of excellent inexpensive late afternoon flights from London Gatwick by XL Airlines. There are excellent budget priced direct flights from all over the world to London Gatwick, a much easier... Read Full Story

Someone forwarded me a link to a Robin Williamson interview in Bath, England, a couple of days ago. He and his wife Bina are performing for a festival there. This reminded me why he is also an inspiration for what I and even what Claire and I do together Quotes ...... "It relates so well to our music which is all about getting away from the mass marketed X Factor of the 21st century and re-engaging with a deeply spiritual lifestyle. Getting to the real essence of being human. It's a... Read Full Story

How can we be more eco friendly with Celtic Ways? A dilemma I have with our Celtic Ways services is the amount of air travel we encourage as most people who share our tours are from North America and Australia. I was wondering if it would be more eco friendly to create more shows and bring some Ireland and Celtic Wisdom to the USA and Australia which would mean 2 of us using aeroplanes rather than 100s that come to Ireland to share what we do. Unfortunately, should that become a pattern... Read Full Story
