Writer, photographer, environmental campaigner and "known troublemaker" Dave Walsh is the founder of Blather.net, described both as "possibly the most arrogant and depraved website to be found either side of the majestic Shannon River", and "the nicest website circulating in Ireland". Half Irishman, half-bicycle. He lives in southern Irish city of Barcelona.
Thrilling stuff. The last photo reminds me of a headline (some time in the 70s, probably) in the Tyrone Courier after a cow (rather than an army landrover) meandered into a trip wire across a road near Dungannon and ended up splattered over several fields: ‘Hey diddle diddle’. Happy days.
