The family of an Irishman who went missing in California while hiking the Pacific Crest Trail have marked five years since his disappearance.
David O’Sullivan, from Midleton, County Cork, was 25 when he set out to hike the long-distance trail, a journey of 2,653 miles along the western coast of America stretching from the Mexican border to Canada.
He had been inspired to do the trek after reading the book ‘Wild’ by Cheryl Strayed, which also became a film starring Reese Witherspoon.
