Hi, I am Michael Dickson, please support my walk from Kingspan Stadium to the Aviva Stadium in aid of the IRFU Charitable Trust

[StadiumToStadium @KingspanToAviva]

Oops! How could I forget?! - Thanks to Tricia, my wife, for her support from the start, and close friends Jim & Sharon Coulter.....

[StadiumToStadium @KingspanToAviva]

Finally, thanks also to the fans from Ulster & Leinster who we met in the Fanzones at the Horse Show House Bar & Sandymount Hotel who were very generous. I also appreciated their efforts in helping me re-hydrate..! Now thats probably everyone thanked - apart from Mr. Eastwood!

[StadiumToStadium @KingspanToAviva]

Particular thanks to @JP_Petrie and Richard at @UlsterRugby for their backing and encouragement, Linda at the @IRFUCharTrust and also @PeteSnodden @BBCMarkSimpson and @gavinjandrews for getting the message out.

[StadiumToStadium @KingspanToAviva]

I just want to say a huge thanks to all who supported me along the way, through donating, tooting their horn and/or waving as I walked, gave me food & drink and also shops that gave me items FOC - it all gave great encouragement.

Apologies for lack of updates since the walk, though I'm pleased to report I've recovered, the 3 broken toenails have regrown and shin splints have healed! I'll be up at @KingspanStadium for todays Ulster v Leinster match where I'll be presenting a cheque to the @IRFUCharTrust

@IRFUCharTrust Hi, Please follow & RT... thanks 👍🏻🏉☘️

@LauraJ2803 Approx 20 miles - might feel like 200!

[StadiumToStadium @KingspanToAviva]

Now in The Coast Inn in Skerries to enjoy a well deserved bite & pint. Tired but feeling much better & refreshed after a bath & energised due to the generosity of the people I've met.

[StadiumToStadium @KingspanToAviva]

About 109 miles done - approx 4 to go - just through Rush. Can’t wait to get a pint in, can’t guarantee it’ll be water! #StadiumToStadium #LeinstervUlster #LeinVUls #SUFTUM

[StadiumToStadium @KingspanToAviva]

On the road again! Great night with the @skerriesrugby lads and stay at RedBank House, Skerries. Currently on Lusk Rd heading to Swords. Will then get to outskirts of Dublin before heading up Grafton St then Leeson St & on to Pembroke Rd for quick R&R - look out for me!!

[StadiumToStadium @KingspanToAviva]

Very tired, have blisters, sore knees, sore feet, but I am strong enough to finish for those who can’t. Cheers, see you at the Fan Zone tomorrow @SouthWalesURSC @UlsterRSC #stadiumtostadium #LeinstervUlster #LeinVUls

[StadiumToStadium @KingspanToAviva]

At The Coast Inn, with @skerriesrugby Junior Vice President Clyde Davidson and Vice President Jim O’Rourke. What a handsome trio eh?! Thanks for coming and supporting...

With Bernard Healy, from @skerriesrugby who found me - that @UlsterRugby flag must have been the giveaway! #stadiumtostadium #LeinstervUlster #LEIvULS

After a quick refuel & rest in Drogheda, it’s back on the road to Skerries. Hopefully linking up with some @skerriesrugby lads later for much needed wind down & rehydration!
