THE LENGTH OF SIX FIELDS ACCORDING TO A LOCAL FARMER
I asked a local farmer how long Bishopsmeadows walk was and he responded by saying six fields. Having seen some really large fields on my way to Kilkenny by train I was afraid that this could be six miles but I assumed that it would be no more than two miles assuming about four fields per mile. I later discovered that it is 2.6km but of course the return journey was also the same distance [I often forget about the return journey].
In 2018 I was badly prepared for the canal and river walks in Kilkenny. I did not have proper rain gear and of course there was thunder storm which is why there was more than one session.
On day two of my visit I walked more than twenty miles over three sessions and I was exhausted because the weather was very hot even though the sky was overcast. At the end of the day my feet were in a very poor condition and needed treatment on my return to Dublin.
