Kesh Carnival Walk For Women
20 August 2008
Twenty-three women set out from The Old Courthouse on an energetic walk around the Scenic Route in Kesh, in the Walk For Women organised by Ardess Women’s Group. Despite the damp conditions the enthusiastic participants had a very enjoyable time, making new acquaintances and catching up on news with old friends.
The walk took around an hour-and-a-half—the route marked out with encouraging wayside signs—and finished back at the Old Courthouse where everyone was glad to sit down and be served with refreshments…chatting and drinking tea for another hour-and-a-half!

Parish Walk - Saturday 7th June
11 June 2008Seven walkers set out at 11.30am from the north side of the Blue Stack Mountains at Crolack Farm. Climbing from 170m to the highest point—Croagh Gorm—at 674m, we searched enroute (but in vain) for a plaque commemorating the seven airmen killed when a Sunderland Flying Boat crashed into the hillside in January 1944; five airmen survived that fateful day.
The views from the marble capped mountain were spectacular on such a clear day. We didn’t return to base till 6.50pm, totally exhausted and sunburnt but all the better for the experience. Those who only thought about joining the walk missed a real treat!
