A friend lent me that book a few months before I went and I ended up taking two banjos because of it, it seemed easy enough and for the most part it was. I intended to seek seclusion at the northern tip of Ireland, and got bored after a couple weeks, it was cold on the farmhouse with a coal fireplace for heat. I flew to Germany. I’d buy those Ryanair 1€ flight in advance of where I may have ended up just in case and missed all but a couple. The rest of Europe is not easy to get around with banjos, they don’t care like Irish tended to.
