Ballyhoura Bears Walks August 8th 2010

Compiled by Denis Bates

Thursday August 5th

The Thursday evening walk was led this week by Cal McCarthy along his favourite stomping ground of Glenanaar. Is there anywhere more beautiful and peaceful then Glenanaar and the lovely shaded walk up the valley alongside the Aar river? Canon Sheehan would agree that there is not. At this time of year the tree canopy is lush and the summer growth plentiful. The mountain ash trees are resplendent with bunches of red berries. The verges are line… Continue

Ballyhoura Bears Walks August 1st 2010

Compiled by Denis Bates


Thursday July 29th

The Thursday evening walks continue in popularity. Led by Declan Clancy the walk started from the Lacca and headed down the Goat’s Path into Greenwood. A turn through the Pinch onto Seefin took the group to the heights and a compelling view of the Glen of Aherlow nestling beneath the shadowed slopes of the Galtys. A short descent to the car park brought a fine evening’s walk to a contented co… Continue

Ballyhoura Bears Walks 25th July 2010

We really are having a great season of walking right now – Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. These are the scheduled walks. They do not take into account all the other walking activities that are undertaken by our members, whether it is on behalf of charitable causes or preparation for “away” trips or walks that are arranged by members to accommodate their own needs and schedules. Added to this we have members in Tanzania presently climbing Kilimanjaro – the highest mountain in Africa – and anot… Continue

Ballyhoura Bears Walks 18th July 2010

Rain or shine our walks keep going ahead. Thursday evening at Lisvarrinane was the worst affected by the rain, but despite this the numbers turned up. Joan Caulfield led us on a trek on Slievenamuk, and if we did not get the views that this beautiful area can deliver on a finer day, we still had a pleasant walk through the woods. This is familiar stomping ground for Joan; you can easily tell once she delivers soupcons of her immense knowledge of neighbourhood. When you are dressed for the condit… Continue

Hi Danny, the club releases walking schedules on a quarterly basis. The latest walking list for the period January - March 2008 has been finalised and posted out to all club members. Once I get my copy in the post I'll scan it and put a copy up on the site for download. I'll also pop the information into the Google Calendar on the main page.

Sounds like you are well able to walk anyway if you have done 100 mile walks :-). You might be interested in our St. Stephens Day walk. It's 14 miles and everyone does it at their own pace. Usually there's a very good turn out for it (definitely 60 or more participants). It's a good way to work off the over indulgences of Christmas Day and to meet people in the club.
