Ruaidhri, I’m pretty sure you can get arrested for running off with women like that. Ciara, Ruaidhri, Paul and James seemed to have a ball in Copenhagen. I’m going with them next year!!!

Day One of the Wife Carrying Team Marathon Trip to Finland involved leaving Cork on the Fastnet Line ferry to Swansea…great fun on board, with a wedding ceremony and all. Check out Ciara and James’ first day’s travelling: Days Two and Three brought them across Wales and the UK and managed to get a late train through the Eurotunnel into France, before heading into Bruges. Looks like a lot of fun:
