How about this now, the weather on Sunday is supposed to be lovely so let's get out there. Two walks to suit all (hopefully}
With Denise and Caroline, you can do a lovely C walk around the Blackfallow area. For this walk meet at Clancy's pub Knockvicar, F52 HP86 at 12 noon. This is 13km on woodland track and road, ending at the pub for a little drinky.
Contacts are........in no particular order, Caroline 086 406 5610 and Denise 086 234 2999
Then we have a tougher walk in Mayo. This is the Keenagh Loop walk under Birreencorragh..(B grade} For this, you can meet at the Keenagh Loop trailhead at Bellanaderg Bridge for 12 o'clock ( mid day). You will find the location on Google maps, by just entering Keenagh Loop Trail Head, so you can't go wrong unless you don't have google maps! Now this walk is about 11km, but do not be deceived. It isn't the length, it is the difficulty and there is tough terrain, can be boggy (although it has been dry recently) and a bit of climbing. Also on this walk is a breathtaking river walk. Could be out for 4 hours Wear boots for this one. Phone a friend and carpool. Contact is Eugene 086 256 0400.
For both walks, on a hot day, it is essential to have plenty of water.
