Register on the Day for Kilbrien Comeragh Crossing Walk
Following on from last month’s newsletter item about registering for the
Comeragh Crossing, we just want to clarify that you don’t need to register
online for the Kilbrien section of the Comeragh Crossing, the 10km walk. You
can register for it on the day and the cost is €20. Of course, if you do want
to register for it online, you are welcome to do so. Just drop in to
www.dungarvanhillwalking.ie and choosing Comeragh Crossing from the menu on the
left-hand side of the page. You can also register online for all the other
Comeragh Crossing walks there.
Walk Report: St Patrick’s Day Walk
We were delighted to be able to run our St Patrick’s Day walk again
after snow scuppered the walk last year. Brian Wickham led approximately 25
walkers up Slievenamon and back down again, in a walk that took just under
three hours. Showers threatened but thankfully stayed away as we climbed,
though it was far too cold for our annual Slievenamon sing-song at the top.
However, as we were leaving, an unmerciful shower of hailstones descended from
the sky. St Patrick’s wrath, perhaps?
With a tough climb and a slippery descent, this walk had a definite air
of penance about it, but after that penance, there was the reward of cakes and
many other goodies at Kilcash Castle. Thanks to all who contributed goodies,
and thanks to Brian Wickham for leadership and for boozy cake.
Food Festival Walk
Dungarvan Hillwalking Club is running a hillwalk again for the West
Waterford Food Festival. The walk will take place on Saturday 27 April, and it
will be in the Comeraghs. The walk meets at the Park Hotel at 10am and then you
drive to the starting point. The walk will cover a 6km route and will last four
hours. Tickets are €10 and you can buy them from the West Waterford Festival of
Food website. https://www.westwaterfordfestivaloffood.com. Go to events, then Trails and Tours, and you’ll find
Hillwalking in the Comeraghs, where you can register for the walk. You can also
drop into Dungarvan Tourist Office.
Next Club Meeting: The next club meeting will take place on Tuesday 7 May
at the Tudor House at 8pm.
