Sharing this article from last week's Irish Times. Plenty of food for thought in it -not only from a personal responsibility point of view but also in relation to the wider issues involved in mountain rescue and mountain access.
Slieve Blooms looped walk. Meet car park in Cadamstown village at 10am. Duration: 2.5 to 3 hours approx. Distance: 11kms. Some ascent and descent. Terrain uneven and slippery in sections so boots only-definitely not suitable for runners and sticks would be useful. Contact walk leader Fiona in advance if attending.
Weather forecast mixed so if conditions deteriorate, we can take a shorter route.
Thanks to Clare for photo below of last Sunday's walk.
