Alexander Ellis Roswell heading to Tory Island with Tory Hostel owner, Deirdre Sweeney
A man who has clocked up 4,650 miles walking around the coastline of Ireland and the UK has arrived on Tory Island.
Alexander Ellis Roswell has been walking along the coastline of the two countries since the 3rd August 2014 to raise funds for the RNLI.
He has now clocked up 4,650 of the expected 10,000 miles it will take him to circumnavigate the British Islands while arriving on Tory Island.
Since leaving Minnis Bay in Kent nearly two years ago he has raised in excess of £20,000 for the RNLI.
Alexander says has been astounded by the generosity of the communities he has met on this fundraising walk, in particular since he has arrived in Donegal.
He recently left Arranmore and spent the last two ways making his way through the Rosses and Gaoth Dobhair before travelling to Tory Island this evening (Wed).
Alexander was met and welcomed on the pier by the King of Tory Patsy Dan Rodgers and hopes to spend the next few days exploring Tory Island before returning to the mainland and heading towards Malin Head.
He wouldlike to thank all the people who have offered him support on his journey, especially Turasmara and Tory Hostel for making his much anticipated visit to Tory Island a reality.
