Hi, I wondered if you could share on your page that there is a folded up child's pram beside the KFC at the Castledawson Roundabout Park and Ride. I imagine someone might be looking for it

Weather going to be against us. Unfortunately we have to cancel tonight’s walk, as heavy rain is expected this evening. We go again next week, hopefully the weather will pick up.

Our walk will take place tomorrow night, weather permitting.

Get yourselves along for a chat and a cuppa.
