''I have never been happier, more exhilarated, at peace, inspired, and aware of the grandeur of the universe and the greatness of God than when I find myself in a natural setting not much changed from the way He made it''
Jimmy Carter
When Anna and Ian were much younger I would put them in the car and tell them to close their eyes for a few minutes. When they asked where we were going I would tell them that we were going on a Magical Mystery Tour.
They loved these trips as we explored rock pools at the seashore, mountains, castles, old grave yards and library's and museums were places of interest on the really wet and windy days. The childlike excitement and enthusiasm was great to watch and it is something that I am blessed to still experience when I go off on my adventures today.
Last year I spent almost 100 days out of Ireland at various Angling shows/fairs, teaching courses and fishing adventures around the world, and each one I found as exciting and interesting as the next. As the years prance on I have become aware that there is probably not enough of my life left to do all the things I want to do, and to go on all the adventures that I want to go on.
There is no time like the present to organise a few more trips, and this time I would like to bring you with me on my Magical Mystery Tours. I will be bringing you to the places that I have already been to before and can therefore answer all the questions that you may have regarding travelling, fishing equipment necessary for the trips, types of accommodation and level of endurance required for each location.
In 2019 I will be Hosting trips to Patagonia in March (this trip is full), and Scotland in July. In 2020 I will be going to Patagonia and Scotland and in 2021 I will be going to Greenland and Scotland. There are more details and links later in this newsletter.
A lot of these trips are outside our busy times at Blackwater Salmon Fishery and I am blessed that Noel my partner is here to run the fishery when I am not. I am also glad that Noel will be joining me to Patagonia in 2020 and Greenland in 2021.

I am delighted to be teaching these courses again this year and they have been very successful in previous years and also make great birthday and C...….s? presents.

And most of all we are going to have fun.
This is a 4 night residential course, with 3 days salmon fishing and teaching by myself on the famous Kercock beat on the River Tay assisted by the Head Gillie Gary Harkin. We will be staying at the Tayside Hotel in Stanley and all meals including lunch is included in the price.
