Mindful moment…

The joy of dressing up Last weekend I met my friend for lunch at a fancy hotel. We both decided to get dressed up and so I wore high heels and a nice blouse, instead of my writer’s uniform of a baggy jumper and tracksuit bottoms. I walked into the restaurant with my head held high and a spring in my step. Over the last few years, I’ve rebelled against the societal pressure for women to look a certain way. I have dismissed fashion as superficial and ditched daily make-up and high heels. But my lunch made me see that fashion in itself is neither bad nor good. If we dress up in order to celebrate life and express ourselves, that is a joy. If we agonise over our wardrobe because we feel like that is all that matters about us, well, that is a shame. What matters, as with most things in life, is our intention. ⬤ Marianne Power is the author of helpmeblog.net

Few people can say that adventure is in their DNA, but 32-year-old Mayo woman Joan Mulloy can. The profes- sional sailor and former engineer is actually related to pirate queen Grace O’Malley. “Grace O’Malley’s grandparents are my 17-times grand- parents,” she says. Following in the wake of that famous seafarer, in 2018, Mulloy became the first Irish woman to complete the Solitaire du Figaro off-shore, multi-stage race. (She also completed it in 2019.) This month-long solo event covers thousands of miles, and each stage takes three to five days. Sailors endure a cocktail of solitude, sleep deprivation, wetness, intense concentration and subsist on a diet of freeze-dried food. “You don’t really get recovery time. You sleep 15 minutes at a time. The level of sailing is incredibly high so you can’t let your guard down for a second or you’ll lose places. That intensity continues for up to five days before you have time on land,” she says. Even on shore, it’s manic. “You’ve got two to three days to recover… get repairs done and debrief with your coach.

CLARE KEELEY ULTRA-RUNNER

Clare Keeley’s story sounds a little bit like that of a super- hero. Most of the time, she’s what people might consider to be typical for a 43-year-old woman. She’s a nurse, wife, and mum to three daughters (aged 11 to 15). She juggles housework with homework, lifts to gymnastics and work schedules. But whenever she can, she slips on her running gear. And then she’s ultra-Clare. Keeley discovered her passion eight years ago following “seven years of being pregnant or breastfeeding”. “I had to get back to who I was,” she says. It started with laps of Arklow harbour, progressed to a marathon within the year and then the March 2013 Conne- mara Ultra. Then she took her ultra-running into the hills. Keeley has now completed 20 ultras and has had podium finishes in 11 of them. She ran for Ireland in the 2018 50-mile Trail World Championships. The hardest event Keeley has completed is the Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc, which is widely regarded as one of the world’s toughest foot races. It’s 171km long and has a sav- age elevation gain of 10,000m. “It took me to places I never could have imagined in terms of pain… ever since that, nothing seems huge,” she says. Keeley’s most recent achievement was being second woman home in the 200km Kerry Way Ultra in September. The longest event she has ever completed, it took her 31 hours and 19 minutes. When asked how she finds time to train, Keeley laughs and tells a school-gate story. “One of the mothers once said, ‘I see you running in the mornings and I think I’d love to have time to run like you’. I nearly choked because my life is counted in minutes. I literally run in from work, light the fire, put food in the oven, jump in the car, collect kids and shoot back. I sometimes set the alarm for 5am and go run- ning… or I’ll run after 10pm. You make the time.” Keeley confesses that her husband is “not a mad fan” of

NACHY her running. “He says, ‘just do what you have to do and I’ll mind the kids’. He thinks the long-distance stuff is all a bit CO crazy. I think he is amazed by it. Secretly, though.” VID One of Keeley’s main motivations is making sure her three DA daughters see they can achieve anything. “My mother raised us by herself and she always said, ‘the world is your oyster; go for it’. I want my girls to see that you can take something PICTURE: that seems quite hard, train for it and you can succeed.”

12 IRISH INDEPENDENT Weekend Magazine 9 November 2019 ‘It’s the closest thing to flying I can ever imagine’

CLAIRE WALSH

FREE-DIVER

Imagine holding your breath for six minutes. That’s the length of the Queen song ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’. Now imagine heading to depths of 60 metres on that breath. That’s equivalent to descending from the top of Dublin’s Liberty Hall all the way to the ground (and all the way back up) — on one breath. Incredibly, this is exactly what 36-year-old Clare Walsh is capable of. In September, Walsh took her talents to the world stage at the AIDA Depth World Championships in the French town of Villefranche-sur-Mer. She was the first Irish female competitor to take part. While the Kildare native failed to take home any medals, she did set two new official Irish records, reaching a depth of 36m in the constant weight (CWT) discipline and 44m in the free immersion (FIM) dive. In FIM, you pull down from the surface on a rope, and in CWT you kick down with fins. Walsh discovered free-diving by chance in 2015 when she was travelling, and it has been her passion ever since. “I did a bit of scuba-diving. I really enjoyed it but found the equipment cumbersome. While I was snorkelling one afternoon, two lads left the surface and kicked down, going into an underwater cave.I thought this was the coolest thing ever. They told me it was free-diving. That evening I found a course on an island off Honduras… after that, I was hooked. “It’s the closest thing to flying that I can ever imagine. After a good dive I tend to go like the emoji with the love hearts in its eyes. It’s nothing short of magical.” Walsh has been training full-time for the cham- pionships since November 2018, spending time in Egypt to prepare. She self-funds her sport and was helped through a GoFundMe page and sponsorship from Timewise Systems. She also uploads imagery from her dives on Instragram (@clairewalshlife). Before Egypt, Walsh worked as a voice and move- ment coach, and as a puppeteer in Lambert Puppet Theatre. She says that all of her life experience con- tributes to her diving. “You’d be surprised in the overlap between all the disciplines… The cross-section always seems to be the same; the breath.” Walsh says free-diving has changed her life. “Learning to hold your breath and take it under- water requires a level of mental strength, awareness and focus like no discipline I’ve experienced. Breath work, relaxation techniques and mindful meditation are key elements of this sport.” PICTURE: DAAN VERHOEVEN 9 November 2019 Weekend Magazine IRISH INDEPENDENT 13 Fe‘Iatureused to play GAA but I just wasn’t getting that rush from it’

OPEN-WATER SWIMMER

In July 2019, 44-year-old Rachael Lee added world’s fastest crossing of the North Channel to her list of achievements. As part of team Ocean Breakers, which included her husband Tom Healy and friend Ronan Joyce, the trio completed a relay swim between Co Down and Scotland in nine hours and 20 minutes. The previous fastest — six-man — relay took nine hours and 55 minutes. As well as smashing records, Team Ocean Breakers also aims to draw attention to plastic waste. The 34.5km swim involved bone-rattling water temperatures of 11-13ºC, swathes of vicious Lion’s Mane jellyfish and brutal currents. Lee, who lives in Malahide, Co Dublin, says: “After each period swimming, it took about an hour to warm up. It was like you were having convulsions, you were shivering that much. And then after another hour, you got back in. There were thousands of jellyfish. The only positive was that the water was so cold that you felt the stings less.” Orca whales were also spotted while the trio swam. “At one point, there was one behind me. I didn’t see it… I wouldn’t have wanted to know. What we had said was, ‘if there’s a whale or a basking shark…don’t point, don’t shout, I don’t want to know. I just want to swim’.” Lee is no stranger to swimming achievements. In 2016, the full-time fire-fighter and mum of six-year-old twin boys claimed the Irish record for the fastest solo English Channel crossing — nine hours and 40 minutes. That record previously belonged to her husband! Lee says there is a healthy rivalry between the two but that Healy is a huge support to her. “For the Channel, the kids were really small so Tom took a year off training so I could train. He’d push the buggy by the sea and shout to me ‘keep going’. I couldn’t have done it without him. He was so selfless.” Not everyone is quite so supportive, though. “People say NDREN things like, ‘look at her training all the time, those poor kids’. CO They don’t realise I train from 6-7.30am before work and before they’re up, or when they’re asleep. I want my boys to say, ‘my Mammy works, she trains and she has done this. I want them to have the same respect for me and all women as their dad does.

I want to show them that women can do anything men can.” PICTURE: MARK

Collectively, the trio has over a century of hospitality experience — they are the three wise Irishmen of the ser- vice industry — and had been trying to find a project on which to collaborate for many years before they took on the Daffodil Mulligan site earlier this year. “This will have a younger vibe than my other London res- taurants,” says Corrigan. “It’ll be t-shirts and jeans, and I want to see lots of Irish people gravitate here. I’m hoping that it’ll be an informal embassy, somewhere young Irish people can use as a home office, meet up with other Irish people.” There’s no denying that these are risky times in the hospitality business. The expensively fitted-out Nuala, which formerly occupied the Old Street site, also had an Irish sensibility, and garnered rave reviews for chef Niall Davidson’s food but closed back in January having lasted little more than a year. Notwithstanding the amount of money ploughed into Nuala by its backers, reviewers and customers alike com- plained about the lack of comfort so Corrigan and his part- ners have ripped most of it out and started almost from scratch, putting in a 60-seater restaurant and 10-seat oys- ter bar on the ground floor (a Richard Corrigan restaurant

The décor at Daffodil Mulligan will, says Corrigan, be after an iconic “an homage to militant Irish feminism”, with large-scale Dubliner portraits of Countess Markievicz and Sinead O’Connor curated by Luke Dodd of The Guardian, while the music director is Gary Dunne of the Camden Irish Centre “who basically taught Ed Sheeran how to play guitar”. “Ireland is so creative now,” he says, “I want to bring that here. I’m not going to get old and boring, I’m going to keep ploughing that furrow.I want this to be gregarious, fun, a nice place to eat and have glass of wine.” Given the investment in the new venture, it’s just as well that the finances at Corrigan’s other businesses are in good shape, having recently returned to profitability. The most recent accounts filed show that the group — which includes both his UK and Irish operations — recorded a pre-tax profit of £25,161 in 2018 following a pre-tax loss of £397,753 in 2017. Revenues at Virginia Park Lodge, which operates a wed- ding venue, were up by 20pc, although overall revenues dropped by 4pc from STG£11m to STG£10.54m last year, with revenues at the London restaurants down by 10pc thanks to the chill winds of Brexit. “Some chefs are not cut out to run a business, but I’m from the country and I can do both,” says Corrigan.

Drive the tangle of roads from Amalfi, and the reward is a mountain town ringed by some of the most breathtaking terrace gardens in Europe. Picking your way through thin streets, it’s easy to shake off the crowds, passing little villas and vegetable gardens, pausing at gaps that reveal heart-tuggingviews of gorges and terraces tumbling down the hills. You might hear a church bell ring, see a priest cross the piazza, or a cat waiting outside a butcher shop... reassuring signs of real life, in otherwords. Wagner,Jackie Kennedy and GoreVidal were just a few of its fans through the ages, and a plaque in the town square recalls Humphrey Bogart,John Huston andTruman Capote shooting Beat the Devil (1953) here. Villa Rufolo (villarufolo.it; €7) is home to gorgeous gardens with coastal views, but Villa Cimbrone (hotelvillacimbrone.com; €7) is the must-see. A series of landscaped gardens that date back to Roman times and culminate in the Terrace of Infinity (it doesn’t disappoint).

9 November 2019 Weekend Magazine IRISH INDEPENDENT 35 Travel BASQUE IN GLORY From the Guggenheim Bilbao to the gastronomic fireworks in San Sebastián, Conor Power takes a tantalising tour of Spain’s Basque Country

ara, our guide, was tearful at the thought of returning to her home in Madrid. All her relations lived in the Spanish capital, but therewas something about life in the Basque Country — and in Bilbao in particular— that had clearly got beneath her skin. I’d only been there one day, but I’d already S sensed something of what she was talking about. Bilbao (bilbaoturismo.net) is a city set in a ravine just a few kilometres inland from the coast. It was built on heavy industry and trade with Britain, and when that ended abruptly, a decision was made to lift the depressed, post-industrial city by building an enormous and out- landish palace dedicated to art. The Guggenheim Bilbao Museum (guggenheim-bilbao.eus), complete with huge floral puppy out front, is concrete proof of the fact that art is not only good for the soul, but good for business, too. Today, art and food are the pillars that have replaced steel and iron in Bilbao, and visitors flock to appreciate both. The spirit of regeneration seems to pulse through every boulevard, street and alleyway in a Basque city that effort- lessly and stylishly fuses modernity and tradition. There’s an atmosphere of strong-minded independence among the Basques, but that doesn’t take away from their equally strong sense of hospitality and a determination to show one another that they are as good as the next person at whatever they put their hand to. This, explained hosts Igor and Txaro (pronounced ‘charo’), was the driving force behind the culinary mir- acle of Basque cuisine. We were sitting in the premises of ¡Waska! in Vitoria-Gasteiz and had just eaten what was officially the ‘best pintxo of 2019’ — a delicate and delicious bacalau pil-pil involving gelatine from cod skin, coconut milk, ratatouille filling and black garlic. Pintxo is a Basque word meaning ‘tooth-pick’ or ‘mini- skewer’, and it signifies the wonderful snacks that are similar to tapas in the rest of Spain. Any Basque person, however, will tell you that pintxo culture is very much a separate thing, and the quality of their snacks beats the has not been overrun by mass tourism. 280,000 souls is a long-established favourite haunt of the socks off tapas any day of the week.
