January Newsletter
New Year’s Eve
Walk to Glenshelane
Fifteen hardy
souls decided to shake off the Christmas cobwebs and brave the elements in
Glenshelane Woods. We negotiated slippery bridges and limbo-danced under a
tree. At the halfway point, leader Norman Graham made the decision to turn back
and we went back the way we came. Despite almost incessant rain, the mood was
bright, and we all agreed that the walk was a great way to start the New Year
Sneem Weekend– May
2018
In May, the club
will be heading to Sneem in Co. Kerry for our weekend away. The weekend runs
from 11-13 May and we’ll be staying at the Sneem Hotel. The cost of this
weekend is €149 per person, including two nights B&B and an evening meal.
If you’d like to come on this weekend, contact Dave Byrne on 087 7971697, and
have your money paid by the night of the club meeting on 6 February.
Mulled Wine Walk.
Walk Report, Richard Dykes
There was an
impressive turnout of 45 revellers for the annual Mulled Wine Walk on 17
December. After the walk along the Ardmore Cliffs, they enjoyed great cakes and
mince pies made by Ronagh Baumann. Erich Baumann excelled again with his
delicious mulled wine. There was also lots of hearty singing to go along with
the treats. Thanks to Erich and Ronagh for their time and great work.
