    Another famous walker was Michael Herlihy, he was at Tralee fair and he met with a cattle dealer. The cattle-dealer asked him to drive cattle to Cork, so he started from Tralee city and drove them through Cork City, and loaded them at the boat alone, and walked home again the same day.

    This is one authentic local feat of walking. I knew an old woman (Mary Greaney) who lived a few hundred yards from this school, and my father remembered the incident. She set out for Mallow over Winter's day in the year '48, a distance of 42 miles. On the return journey on the same day she was back as far as Ballydesmond as the lamps were being lit. She brought a stone of meal on her head
