Roscrea Trailblazers conquer Carrauntouhill
Join the popular Roscrea Club this week when they visit the Slieve Bloom mountain trails
Now that the evenings are getting a bit longer, Roscrea Trail Blazers Walking Club will start getting back to some of our more popular walks. Our walk last Thursday was cancelled due to a poor weather forecast.
Well done to club members, Geraldine Fox, John Doherty and Carmel Leonard for completing the 33km Knockmealdown crossing last Saturday. A very tough challenge with over 1,500 mts of climbing (Carrauntouhill is 1039 mts) and completed in just under nine hours. Well done to everyone that made the effort.
We have a packed 2025 ahead with several trips overseas and a lot of challenge walks over the coming months.
Our walk this Thursday night sees the club heading to the Brittas Lake Loop at Clonasleee in the Sleive Blooms. Distance 7.5km, Grade Easy/Moderate, Time 1.5 hours. Meeting at the Brittas Lake Trail Head at 7.30, please bring Head/hand torch.
We would encourage anyone thinking of taking up hiking for better health or as a way to destress to please make contact with the number below. To join the group and to see what the club has to offer please follow the contact details below.
If you would like to join us on any of our night walks or weekends away, you can contact Cathal on (086) 3399 193 and receive updates through WhatsApp. You will be made feel very welcome.
