Trip to Tipp, Ireland’s Woodstock, the wildest drunken festival in history

By Parasuram das

1990 was the first Trip to Tipp, it was also the year that Nelson Mandela was released from prison, Germany was re-unified after the fall of the Berlin Wall and, away from the headlines, a computer nerd called Tim Berners-Lee was registering something called the World Wide Web. I was oblivious to all of this, I was busy chasing horses, tents and carts in an attempt to walk from Belfast to Moscow, the first traditional Padayatra outside of India in an attempt to celebrate Srila Prabhupada's Centennial, in the association of HG Tribhuvanath Prabhu, and Giri Dhari prabhu, and a glorious crew of fearless, untameable devotees.
