  • On a walking trail in Mayo
    Back in 2008, the Walks Scheme was set up to help open up more walking routes across the country on private land. Last weekend, about 7,000 people made the climb up Croagh Patrick. But beyond the Reek, there’s a lot more Mayo offers, including the Clogher–Newtown Forest Trail. https://www.sportireland.ie/outdoors/find-your-trailsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today that has dwindled to about 10,000. A few weeks ago, two foals were born on club member Donal Staunton’s farm in Clifden, Galway.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
