Our next walk is Saturday, 17th of August, our Summer Social Event. The walk is a 15 km track starting in Ravensdale, taking the forest trails across Moneycrockroe, descending into the valley on the other side where we pick up the road for 2/3 km before reaching Glenmore, Barnavave and the deserted famine village. From there we will take the Mass Trails into Grange, for a BBQ and evening of “craic agus ceol” in John Long’s Pub.
The walk will be 4/4.5 hours, and as usual all walkers must have walking boots, a water/wind proof jacket and a packed lunch.
Cost is £25 or 30 Euros which includes bus to and from Gap O’ the North, Jonesborough, BBQ and music in the fabulous John Long’s pub in Grange! There are only a couple of places left, so if you are interested you would need to get your name and money to us asap! Send us a message via our Facebook page or email gaponorth@gmail.com
Please note there will be no Sunday walk that weekend…we’ll be too tired after our long walk and late night’s craic… but we’ll be back to a Sunday walk as normal on Sunday, 1st of September when we’ll be walking in the Ring of Gullion.
