13 years of Walking from Drakness into Light. There is something spiritual when the clock strikes 4.15am on the second Saturday each year in May. The nation steps out together to remember our friends and family who didn’t find the path to see this beautiful dawn.

We have a great connection here in Fanad to Comcille with our “Turas” in Carroblagh. This is a great programme and the two walks will be great.

A Vernal Equinox hike, where winter’s chill was waning,
The hills, a vibrant tapestry of russet and green, awakening.
Sleeping giants they stretch and rise, the earth stirs quietly,
The poetry of a new season beckons, in a landscape wild and serene.

Hope everybody was able to enjoy some nature therapy on World Poetry Day.
