Numbers were depleted on Saturday (6th Aug) with apologies received due to holidays, weddings, work commitment and the IFC clash v Drumaness. We decided to stay close to base and went for a dander around some of the lesser used tracks in Castlewellan Forest Park.
The next three walks are all on Wednesdays, all leaving the club at 7.00pm. On 17th August we will be talking to the lanes between Castlewellan and Maghera rather than Drumkeeragh as originally planned (starting at Drumee Old Cemetery at 7.15pm). On 24th we will be going to Castlewellan Forest Park and on 7th September to Murlough.

Please note: The Online Booking facility closes at noon on the Friday preceding the week of the camps.
Please note, due to the high volume of applicants last year, we will NOT be accepting bookings on the morning of the camp.
