Roscrea Trail Blazers have a packed 2025 ahead with several trips overseas and a lot of challenging walks over the coming months.

The walk last Thursday night was around Golden Grove and Orange Hill. The walk was not as long as planned due to the arrival of early rain.

Those that attended said that the walk was enjoyed by all that attended. The Thursday night walk this week will be the Brittas Lake Loop outside Clonaslee.

This is a flat, 8km walk and is classed as easy/moderate. Meeting at The Brittas Lake Trail Head at 7.30pm. Those attending are asked to please bring a head/hand torch and a Hi Viz jacket.

They would encourage anyone thinking of taking up hiking for better health or as a way to destress to please make contact with the number below.

To join the group and to see what the club has to offer please follow the contact details below.

If you would like to join them on any of their night walks or weekends away, you can contact Cathal on (086) 3399 193 and receive updates through WhatsApp. You will be made to feel very welcome.
