Sincere thanks to one of the dedicated Organisers, Michael Thornton, for a splendid selection of images which he captured so well as he acted as “Sweeper” (the Guide who keeps to the rear of the Walking Group) on the most challenging of the three walks (Walk A) on both the Saturday and the Sunday. Here we share images from the Saturday which route was really a figure of eight that firstly ascended Clara Mountain followed by Bealach, Gneeves (with a refreshment break almost overlooking Cumatroosh Lake and Waterfall), Adrivale (I feel a real identify with Adrivale as it was here my late mother, Mary Ellen Radley (nee O’Leary), lived until she married Johnny Radley in Millstreet town), Curracahill returning to complete the Clara Loop and back to Millstreet town.

Hi All. I took part in one of the walks yesterday! It was fantastic. Hope ye will hold it again next year.. It was great to see so many people out enjoying the fantastic countryside.
Do you hold regular walks and have you got a club
Hi Neil – A further Walking Festival is planned for September in Millstreet according to the Organisers with whom I spoke yesterday. There is much interest in walking here in Millstreet but, to my knowledge, there is no actual Walking Club here. However, others who are into this energetic sport may be able to enlighten you more.
Any news about walking festival in September?
