Walk report

SUNDAY AUGUST 7th.                              FEARBREAGA WALK.
20 enthusiastic walkers turned up, including 3 visitors (most welcome). We started from the Mauma road and headed for Carrigaline Mast. Of course this was a huge surprise to our visitors. "What on earth is that".
Photos at the standing stone were followed by lunch in the shelter of the stone circle sheltering us from the wind. But the sun shone and the views were terrific.
It takes time to get 20 bodies across wire fencing and gullies, but the “cute" ones went first and took the opportunity to lie in the long grass soaking up the sunshine..... Obviously I had total control over the group!!!
The Waterford v Kilkenny Hurling match was on the radio and as we debooted, we HAD to go to the Tudor Bar in Dungarvan to console ourselves. What's new!!!
The GAA and the DHWC are very similar-we will do it all again next week folks-same time, same venue.
Walk leader and report by Ann Mangan.

Thanks to walk leaders and those that sent in reports. Keep 'em coming.

Walk report              A whopping 24 walkers turned up for Reenie Palmer's Thursday C walk in Cutteen on 14 July. The walk was split in two, with Geoff leading 10 walkers on a scramble which involved Tarzan-like swinging out of trees. Reenie led the rest of the remaining walkers. The walk took three hours and in spite of the heavy clouds, the rain didn't come until after the cake was eaten. Best of all, there was enough cake to go round.
