Roscrea’s popular hiking club regularly walk in Offaly, Tipp, Laois and around the country

With the great spell of good weather lately, Roscrea Trail Blazers are having some fantastic walks.

Last Friday night they had a very well attended walk around Kinnitty Castle and forestry.

A little rain didn't dampen the spirits of all who attended and they were treated to a fantastic sunset over Offaly. Well done to everyone that made the effort.

The walk this Friday night August 28th is The Monastery Loop at Mount St Joseph's Abbey outside Roscrea. Distance: 6 Km, Time: 1.5 hours and Graded: Easy. Meeting at The main gate carpark at 7pm.
