DHWC Members Summer BBQ Saturday 15th July
Cunnigar
Crossing
John Browne guided over 300 souls into the water on Sunday 25th
June. We crossed to the Cunnigar and over the sand banks via the oyster beds to
Tig an Ceoil, where we had refreshments with musical entertainment. This must be a record
number of participants.
The Dungarvan Lions Club was very pleased with the event and the
donations collected from the walkers.
The beer and the bus worked well and a great time was had by all.
Thanks to Peter and his team for another great well organised
event.
Comeragh
Crossing.
Done and dusted for another year.
The walking conditions on the day became quite demanding at times with
low cloud and mist at times. Thankfully everyone returned off the hill safely
which was the most important thing.

The first year of our on line registration went really well and it is
certainly the way ahead, it makes managing entrant’s data and buses a lot
easier.
The Club is indebted to the organising team for another excellent
walking event especially Brian with his computerised start procedure and all
the other people who played a major role in the smooth running of the event.
Thanks to all the walking and checkpoint marshals and the mobile catering team.
Also a special thanks to non club members for helping.
The
continued support of our sponsors is also greatly appreciated.

A quote from the first challenge walker back.
“Well
done to everyone at Dungarvan Hillwalking Club. Best organised walk in the
country and has been since I started walking seven years ago”.
