The Roscrea Trailblazers are very busy this summer

With the great spell of good weather continuing again this week, Angela Cox led a well-attended walk around Knockbarron Woods outside Kinnitty.

Conditions were perfect for an evening walk and the forestry kept the group cool following the recent hot weather. Well done to everyone that supported this walk.

This Friday night July 31st the walk has not been decided and will be sent out via WhatsApp. The very best of luck to the 12 members heading to The Maumturks this weekend with some of the group tackling the arduous 30km Maumturks Challenge, enjoy and stay safe.

They 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.
