Web Text Alerts for 'A' Walks

Web texting allows a text message to be sent to a number of recipients very quickly and easily. I used it to great effect to update people about my on/off walk in January which was eventually cancelled.

I now have on my web text data base 23 names and numbers of people who regularly attend 'A' walks. If a leader of an 'A' walk needs to contact people about any aspect of their walk, all they need do is to contact me. You can send details to me at jilla%@% > @cha.ie and I will circulate the group with their message. This takes only the time to cut and paste the message, and costs me nothing so I would encourage you all to use the facility without hesitation.

Please contact me if you would like to be included but are unsure whether your name is on my list. I would also encourage anyone who occasionally comes on 'A' walks, or who is considering coming along in the future, to add your name and number to the data base.

If leaders of other grades of walks are interested in setting up a similar system I would be very happy to advise!

Wicklow Way in Reverse

An Invitation from Esther

I am intending to walk the ‘Wicklow Way’ in reverse, starting at Clonegal, and going by stages as far as the North Wall ferry terminal. As these various stages will all be linear walks, a car ferry- or bus will be necessary. The bus will only be viable if I get sufficient numbers. People intending to go on the walk will have to let me know a fortnight in advance so that I can book a bus. Anybody booking the bus will have to pay whether he/she goes or not, unless somebody else goes in their place.
The ‘Wicklow Way’ forms part of the E8 path, i.e. one of the European long distance paths. The E8 will eventually extend from the Atlantic in Kerry to Istanbul in Turkey via Ireland, England, Austria, Slovakia, Poland, Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria, and Turkey.
Stage 4 takes place on 7th March, 2009. Further information on current Walks Programme. (See Photo Gallery for glimpses of the earliest stages, walked in spring 2008)
