This Saturday will be our Climb with Charlie solidarity walk. As the number of Covid cases is starting to rise again it has been decided to continue the planned Climb with Charlie in Killavullen, in a more low-key, less crowded way, in the interest of the health and safety of those walking and those who have to steward the event. Instead on Saturday, April 2nd you are encouraged to meet up with a friend or two or more, pick the route you would like to walk based on your own ability and make a donation to the causes Motor Neurone Disease Ireland and Pieta House.

KILLAVULLEN FAIRIES
Some of the beautiful fairy doors and their accessories have faded over winter and the recent flooding. It might be a nice idea to go for a walk along the trail and see if your one needs a spring overhaul. New fairies would also be welcomed if they wished to take up residence along the walkway. A nice little spring project for young and old alike!
