Newry City Runnersโ€™ Facebook post criticised for misstating Northern Ireland towpath rules

A Facebook post by Newry City Runners has prompted debate about safety on the Newry Canal Way, but several of the claims made in the post do not reflect the rules that apply to towpaths in Northern Ireland.

#Introduction

I'm mostly retired now after careers in strategic communications and public affairs with the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Department of Defense, a U.S. intelligence agency, and a major U.S. defense contractor. I read a lot of news and lurk more than I post.

These days I spend time supporting and advocating for public libraries, and my wife and I enjoy biking on rail trails and canal towpaths. I have often shared photos from our various bike trips.

I live mostly in Northern Virginia but spend a fair amount of time in California.

@Photoist WHo knew? I thought #towpaths existed in the UK. I enjoyed watching: "Cruising the Cut" https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6SNxiLzSlh8e0yjndE9o_A
CruisingTheCut

Cruising The Cut is about the historic canals of Britain. I (David Johns) quit my job in 2015, sold my house and went to live on a narrowboat. Initially videos of my travels, I now document various aspects of canal life.
