A fantastic night for walking and well done to the large group that made the effort. This Thursday the February 3, we are back walking again with a 7.5km walk around Roscrea on the Sli Na Slainte route around the town. An easy flat walk and well suited for all levels.

On Sunday January  30, last The Blazers were on the first stretch of The Royal Canal Greenway from Dublin’s River Liffey to Maynooth and a distance of 27 km. A fantastic effort from all involved and everyone is looking forward to the next section on Sunday February 27, from Maynooth to Moyvalley Bridge, a distance of 25km, details through WhatsApp.
