PLEASE SHARE. Hillwalking Radio Club will be welcoming walkers to Galbally on Saturday 5th of September next for The Ramble, Galbally's annual community walks. This event is classed as social walking at it's best.
We will have two walks suitable for everyone. It is free to participate but donations will be collected to defray organizational costs, and keep our local First Responders trained and equipped.
Route Information.
Walk A, Darby's Bed: A moderate 2 - 2.5 hours scenic hill walk that takes you up to 265 meter peak of Deerpark Hill to see the 6,000 - year old megalithic passage grave.
Walk B. Jim Fahy Loop:
An easy family friendly river bank and pathway route that starts at the 13th centaury walk that starts at Mooreabbey.
Tea and refreshments will be served afterwards in the Community Centre with plenty spot prizes. We really look forward to meeting all those familiar faces and making some new friends this year.
Our First Responders were recently presented with FAR, First Aid Responders certs in Galbally by our instructor John Mulready. Upskilling and training is vital for our club. If you can't make our event you can use this link to DONATE online www.hillwalkingradioclub.com
Registration is from 10am in Galbally Community Hall E34 Y540 and both walks commence at 10.30am. Sturdy footwear is essential and strictly no dogs allowed. All donations inc cakes or tarts on the day will be greatly appreciated.
