Our Second Heritage Week Event

Hello Everyone

I have not completed August News yet. I'll make it September New instead, next week.

For now, this is the second weekend of National Heritage Week in Ireland.

A reminder of our second event, tomorrow.

Picnic at Hugh's Well and Sweat House

From time to time, groups of us have enjoyed picnics here at this delightful picnic spot with a beautiful view over Lough Allen, Co. Leitrim.


This is happening tomorrow at 3 pm, being the Sunday afternoon of  31st August 2015

Again, this is not a walking event but a relaxing event


We meet up at the picnic spot, which has a small car park. If the car park fills there are other roadside parking options.

We will explore the ancient sweat house by here in a beautiful bubbling stream location,


and explore the iron reach holy well


surrounded by old mature holly trees.


Again, here we share our favourite poems, stories and share a picnic.


The current long range forecast as I write this is a comfortable 18C, cloudy, sunny spells, with a chance of a light shower or two later in the afternoon, so be on time here if you can and we will probably picnic first..
