Friday night’s hike began in Ballycrystal, with a pause at Hughes’ Walls/ the Beech Trees before continuing on to the mast on Mount Leinster via the False Teeth route. The walk was at a slower pace due to sections of ankle-deep snow along the route. ❄️🥾 Tea break was taken at a safe distance from ice falling off the mast cables. ☕❄️ The group descended to the right of the Eagle’s Nest, with a red moon reflecting off the sea, returning to Ballycrystal, 8km in total. 🥾⛰️ Enjoyable night had by all.

The club’s walking season got off to a frosty, cold start this year, with John leading a group of 12 walkers on an easy route beginning at Shannon’s Lane. The walk took in Knockroe and continued on to Clorogue Mór, passing the Red Van and a visit to the largest example of rock art in the Blackstairs, carved 4,000–5,000 years ago.
Thanks to John for leading, and thank you to Lily and Nuala for the photos.
