Gimme shelter

2018

This project arose out of a four day solo cycling trip around Lough Derg, crossing the boundaries of three Irish counties.

I camped on the first and last nights in a bog; on the other nights I found it difficult to find a place to pitch, forbidden by a proliferation of regulations and surveillance. It was dispiriting, and a little comical, to go down a narrow country lane—which itself ran off a country lane—only to find signs saying “No Camping – CCTV in Operation” on the gates of fields.
