In June the Peninsula Pacers went on a jaunt of the North Inner City ending up in Stoneybatter for the start of the Festival & ending in Smithfield with a meal in Oscars!

The weather was great and we had a short stop and few words at each historic place as we passed by. The places of note included the Garden of Remembrance, the Black Church, the Blessington Basin, Grangegorman former hospital now college!

We sauntered down Stoneybatter & had a short cultural stop in the Cobble Stone before heading past the Old Dublin Vegetable Market and back to Connolly Train Station after about 8/10 kms of a jaunt!

Our next walk is our Annual Peninsula Walk to coincide with the Bleeding Pig Festival Pizza’Trad event at the Brook Pub on Saturday 14th September. We usually start from the Parish Hall about mid morning & walk to Donabate Beach & around the Cliff Walk stop for a coffee at Wayne’s and on to the Brook for ceol & craic!

The October walk is on Saturday 12th and we hope to do some part of the Coastal Walk Bray to Greystones.

In November Walk is on Saturday 23rd we may do the Balbriggan to Bettystown Coastal walk if tide is out!

We try to use public transport - generally trains as much as possible. The walks are generally flat and a reasonable level of fitness is required and can be about 8-12km.
