Sincere thanks and well done to those Club members who supported our Climb with Charlie walk yesterday on Slieve Bawn. A very generous €420 was raised which will be donated to this remarkable man's fundraising campaign straight away.
A very enjoyable day out was had by all (see below), blessed, naturally, by the sunny Spring morning.
Walk leader Liam Roche has sent in the following:
'As our contribution to the Walk with Charlie fundraising campaign in support of the inspirational Charlie Bird and Vicki Phelan and their efforts to promote funding for research into Motor Neurone disease and support for Pieta House, Rosway Walking Club undertook a 12.5km outing to Slieve Bawn Wind Farm recreational park. It’s a great facility. For kids there's a lovely playground area and various exercise machines. For the adults, there are numerous walking trails, a mass rock, Marian cross, church ruins and a summit feature with information, maps etc,Twenty-two Rosway walkers saw all these features along with the twenty wind turbines and we even had an interesting discussion about the negatives and positives of how green and environmentally friendly both the wind turbines and electric cars really are.
We were blessed with an absolutely stunning day weather-wise. Lunch was enjoyed at the summit and loads of chit-chat, and a few yarns were told as we traversed the various ups and downs along the way.
Another wonderful walking day was had with a fantastic group of Rosway walkers.'
