Update on Sligo Weekend
The club expects to have a magnificent weekend in Sligo on 17 and 18
May. We’ll be staying at the Sligo Southern Hotel, where we’ll no doubt enjoy
great food and hospitality. But above all, we’ll be enjoying some varied and
interesting walks, thanks to the hard work of Dave Byrne and his recce team,
who have checked out the walks for us.
The Saturday B walk is expected to be on the mighty Ben Bulben, clocking
in at 15.5km. The C walk is expected to be to Knocknaree Mountain and the grave
of the legendary Queen Maeve. Also, the car pool fee is €30 for those who are
sharing the driving.
Walk Report: Anne Valley Sunday C Walk, 31 March
A tidy handful of walkers ventured east to try out the extended Anne
Valley walk under the leadership of Elizabeth Twohig. Nine walkers in all
sampled the new route, which takes you along the Anne River. The walkers had a
chance to see lots of wildlife, and the walkers were delighted to come upon a
swan’s nest.
Unfortunately, we missed a chance to see an egret that had been popping up
in recent days, but we were content to chat and explore the route, which was
new to some of the walkers. The walk lasted just under three hours and the
cloud cover never quite lifted, though it stayed dry.
