There's a change to the advertised walk for this weekend and the club will now be doing a section of the Beara Breifne Way. Grade: Easy. Duration: 2-2.5 hours. Meet Killure Church at 10am. Boots/snacks required. Leaders: Mike and Pat Glynn.
The Beara Breife Way is the longest waymarked trail in Ireland and was inspired by the route taken by Dónal Cam O' Sullivan Beara and his followers, who set out from Dunboy Castle on the Beara Peninsula on New Year's Eve in 1602 to march to Leitrim Castle, stronghold of the O'Rourke's of Breifne. The epic journey took two weeks. Of the one thousand who set out, only thirty five survived. Such was the hardship they endured that the route and the story has survived to the present day.
