Mayo in Motion Walking & Cycling June 2014

Mayo Walking and Trails Partnership together with Mayo Sports Partnership has been hugely involved in the promotion and development of walking and cycling trails throughout Mayo. Membership of the Partnership includes representatives from Mayo County Council, South West Development Company, Mayo North East Leader Partnership Teo, Failte Ireland, Mayo Sports Partnership, Community Forum & Other Stakeholders. The attached spreadsheets aim to provide you with information about participation opportunities for all types of walking / cycling in the county. These spreadsheets are not an exhaustive list of all that is going on in June but is just those which we are aware of at this moment and time.

A full listing of events, workshops and general information can be found in each of the 3 local papers Western People, Connaught Telegraph and Mayo News.
