Walk organiser, Thérèse Ruane, said:

"The walks are going from strength to strength. It's great to see so many people from the local community coming out and participating. Thanks to The Davitt Inn for the warm welcome and the very welcome cup of tea afterwards.

The Walks Committee is working diligently to develop marked trails in the area so that more and more people can experience the beautiful walks, heritage and scenery in the Straide area for themselves. We hope to have these completed in the Spring."
