Roscrea Trailblazers

Get out and enjoy the countryside with the Roscrea Trailblazers

The good weather we had recently has left us for now and hopefully it will return. Despite the poor weather forecast last week Roscrea Trail Blazers still had a great turnout for their Knockbarron woodland loop. It was hoped to see the Bluebells in bloom but alas they are gone until next year.

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 12th sees the club heading to a short walk they haven't done in quite a while, The Golden Grove/Orange Hill loop. Distance 5-7km, Grade Easy/Moderate, Time 1.5 hours. Meeting at The Dromakeenan school carpark at 7.30pm.
