The
‘C’ walk on Sunday September 14th was a real pleasure. A local mini
bus transported us from Carrick on Suir to Kilsheelan. On arrival there, our
Kilsheelan member brought us for a tour through his late summer garden pointing
out interesting plants and imparting green-finger tips. Thank you James!
We
then headed towards river bank and began our trek of approximately 12kms. There
were about twenty of us in all, some regulars, some not so regular, plus a
couple of guests. Ronagh was leading and many of the walkers had recently
returned from the club holiday to Switzerland, so recounting stories and
reminiscence was the order of the day.
The
old barge towpath was in excellent order; not a muddy bit in sight! The weather
was perfect for walking and as we ambled along, we met several fishermen along
the way. We passed the recently erected monument Elm Ditch Well, a voluntary
undertaking by local fishermen as a fitting legacy to the memory of their
predecessors now passed on.
This
was a very enjoyable way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
