  • I post regular updates to my Facebook Page (Derek Cullen Outdoors) as it’s really quick and easy while I’m out here walking. Please follow me over there if you wish to stay update. I will update this RUclips series before the end of the month and resume posting regular updates on here after the trip. Thanks for watching 💚

    Ps. I’m doing amazing now and over the setback which happened quite a while ago - check my Facebook page for real-time updates. I know not everyone uses fb but I’ll be back on RUclips really soon. Making fully-edited videos is a huge task (even off the trail) so I will be posting more diary-format videos on RUclips after the trail when I will have a lot more time available 🍀

      Do what is best for you, Derek! If the trail is calling, go. But if your heart and head) says something different, mind what you need! Take care.

    Derek, your honesty and lack of any ego is inspiring. It takes someone with huge strength just to contemplate such a trip. Take care of yourself and enjoy the journey!

    Do what you have to do Derek. That’s lots of people behind you and although like me they no doubt love the regular videos, we’d all rather you got through the walk in whatever way needed for you to be ‘all good’ 😄👍

    Good to see you back on here... and fully appreciate the downer you've been experiencing in the last couple of weeks.
    You'll be ok and if you don't think you are then there are always folks to turn to, to talk with, to confide in... even here on YT!
    I'm sure you have the support of the vast majority of us behind you and we're all willing to give you a lift if you need it!

    Hello Derek. Thanks for the honesty. Like others, I am not on FB so will only see you when you post on YT. And I think you have it right. When you are going through difficult times, keep going. The keyword there being "through", as going through something implies you have the frame of mind that you know it is not permanent. Blessings.

    Derek, I have been following your videos for a long time and I could really tell you weren't 100% yourself on this trip and I was a bit worried about you. Even if you made no more videos on this trip that would be fine. Just put yourself first. The fact that you're continuing the trip at all is inspirational xx

    good God.. you sound just like me... I have a good 20 years on you.. I fought the fight.. until finally I got some drug help and it DID help... immensely. I was GAD 24 hours a day.... just want you to know, i went thru 3 different drugs and while on them the worse times.. but with the one I'm on... good head, good body, good mind and good soul... I fought the fight on my own and truly understand what your saying about going into the darkest place to crawl out.. for 12 years.. then tried something new... good luck

    It's fantastic that you are able to recognise those difficult moments and meet them head on and take the time to deal with them. I hope the trails away from the road will give you the environment to work through everything and enjoy the nature around you. Will be keeping an eye out for the next RUclips vid. Take care.

    You're videos have inspired the fuck out of me lately in more ways than one. Initially it got me out doing more of the adventurous stuff I love. And now they inspire me to accept some of the bad feelings and just be ok with them. I've even given myself permission to have a good rest of my day on a few occasions! Thanks for all of it man. And thanks for the countless videos. Don't be stressing yourself about the content for now, you've made plenty for us to enjoy 👍 I hope you find the answers you're looking for out there, keep the head up. We'll see you when you're ready :)

    Some sections of the Ireland way are quite poor. Excessive styles, poorly maintained off road, lots of livestock, flooding, and long uninspiring road sections. It'll get better, but it's tough now even for people unaffected by anxiety or depression. You're doing great
