In writing this thesis, I hope that I have, in some way, managed to explain the reasons for this cultural diversity. This thesis would not have been written without the assistance of my two supervisors, Professor Mike Cronin and Professor Matthew Taylor. Professor Cronin’s assistance and knowledge has transformed the way I think about history, society and sport while Professor Taylor’s expertise has also made me look at the writing of sports history and the development of society in a different way. -

The Sli Cholmcille- an Irish Camino Experience Fr. Brendan Mcmanus SJ with the Covid Crisis and International Travel Proving
The Sli Cholmcille- An Irish Camino experience Fr. Brendan McManus SJ With the Covid crisis and international travel proving challenging to say the least, Irish walkers turn their eyes homeward, asking if it is possible to have a Camino experience in Ireland? Surely, we don’t have the network of trails, the ubiquitous hostels, or for that matter, the continental weather!? In July 2021 I was lucky enough to take part in a Donegal walking pilgrimage, the Slí Cholmcille, which is pioneering a Camino style trail from Glencolmcille to Derry (I have to confess up front that an injury prevented me from walking the whole thing). Even though there are issues still to be ironed out (the exact route, daily distances or stages, and cheap accommodation), this walk proved that it could be done. The trail, which is about 280 km in length, links together key sites associated with Saint Colmcille (or Columba), traverses some stunning Donegal scenery, and finishes in the historic city of Derry. There are plans to link it to the iconic Iona island in Scotland, the ultimate Celtic pilgrimage destination. Having walked the Spanish Camino a number of times, for me this pilgrimage had all the aspects of a genuine Camino experience. Firstly, it is a long-distance trail that took 12 days and covered a lot of ground, not to mention some stunning Donegal scenery, ancient sites and modern towns. There is something about walking over many days that enables you to get into a rhythm, to inhabit your body fully and to slow the frantic mind, and get some distance from and perspective on your life.
