The good weather we had recently has left us for now and hopefully it will return. Last Thursday the Trail Blazers had a well-attended walk around Golden Grove Wood led by local man, Martin Ryan.

Despite the poor weather forecast for early on Thursday the heavy showers cleared to reveal a fine evening for walking. Well done to Martin for looking after the group and well done to everyone that made the effort.

They have a packed 2025 ahead with several trips overseas and a lot of challenge walks over the coming months.

The walk this Thursday night June 19th sees the club heading back to The Silver River Eco Walk at Cadamstown. A fantastic riverside walk and one that is always well attended and enjoyed by everyone. Distance 6.5km, Grade Easy/Moderate, Time two hours. Meeting at The Silver River Trail Head, Cadamstown at 7.30pm.

The best of luck to the nine club members who are attempting The Tom Crean Endurance walk this Saturday, starting at the foot of Brandom Mountain outside Dingle and finishing 30km later at The South Pole Inn at Annascaul village.

On Saturday June 28th the group have their Annual fundraiser walk and this year it is in aid of The Offaly Branch of Down Syndrome, with two short walks on offer at Lough Boora Parklands, a 9km and 5km Fairy walk. Details to follow next week.
