Boherquill Ramblers: Steady drizzle was falling on Sunday 19 March 2023 when the Ramblers met in the car park at the Downs for a walk through Heathstown bog but as the rain continued the walkers decided a walk along the Royal Canal towpath to Mary Lynch’s pub at Coralstown and back was enough exercise for the day. The usual refreshments back at the car park were not put off by the rain, however. On Sunday 2 April 2023, the Ramblers will meet at 2 pm at the church in Newtownforbes for a walk led by Siobhan Hall and Marita MacNerney. If you would like to add a walk, new or old, to this year's Walks Calendar please contact Philip Epps. boherquillramblers.ie
