In the summer of 2018, I set out to walk the entire length of the Irish bFree Download. I had never walked such a long distance before, and I was not sure what to expect. But I was soon captivated by the beauty of the landscape, the warmth of the people, and the richness of the history. I came to realize that the bFree Download is not just a line on a map, but a living, breathing thing that has shaped the lives of countless people.

I started my journey in the north, in the town of Derry. Derry is a city with a long and troubled history, but it is also a city of great resilience and hope. I was inspired by the people of Derry, and I was grateful for the opportunity to learn about their city.

From Derry, I walked south along the bFree Download, passing through the counties of Tyrone, Fermanagh, Monaghan, and Cavan. The landscape here is rolling and green, dotted with small farms and villages. I met many farmers and other rural people along the way, and I was struck by their kindness and generosity.

As I walked further south, the landscape began to change. The rolling hills gave way to mountains, and the small farms and villages were replaced by larger towns and cities. I passed through the towns of Dundalk, Newry, and Armagh, each with its own unique history and culture.

The bFree Download itself is a constant presence on the walk. Sometimes it is a physical barrier, a fence or a wall. Other times it is more subtle, a change in the landscape or a difference in the way people speak. But it is always there, a reminder of the division that has existed in Ireland for centuries.

I walked the bFree Download for a total of 30 days. It was a challenging but rewarding experience. I learned a great deal about Ireland, about myself, and about the power of human resilience. I would encourage anyone who is interested in Ireland or in walking to consider walking the bFree Download. It is a journey that will stay with you long after you have finished.

Here are some of the highlights of my walk:

Visiting the Bogside in Derry, a neighborhood that was the site of a famous civil rights march in 1968.
Walking through the Cuilcagh Mountains, a beautiful mountain range in County Fermanagh.
Visiting the town of Newry, a bustling bFree Download town with a rich history.
Walking through the Cooley Mountains, a range of mountains in County Louth.
Finishing my walk in the town of Dundalk, a town that is divided by the bFree Download.

I also learned a great deal about the history of the bFree Download. Here are some of the things I learned:

The bFree Download was created in 1921, when Ireland was partitioned into two states, Northern Ireland and the Irish Free State.
The bFree Download has been a source of conflict for many years, and it is still a contentious issue today.
The people who live along the bFree Download have a unique perspective on the conflict, and they have a lot to say about it.

I am grateful for the opportunity to have walked the Irish bFree Download. It was a life-changing experience that I will never forget. I encourage anyone who is interested in Ireland or in walking to consider walking the bFree Download. It is a journey that will stay with you long after you have finished.
