INVITATION ✨

We’re absolutely delighted to invite you to the Community Launch Day for our new Rescue Centre on Saturday 27 June, from 12 noon to 5pm.

Drop in whenever suits you for a first look around our new rescue centre, meet the team, and help us celebrate this very special milestone.

It’s also our chance to say thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way — we truly couldn’t have done it without you, so we’d love to see you there.

Please feel free to share with family and friends, and let us know in the comments if you can make it 👍

Keep an eye out here for further updates as we progress our plans.

Our B+ group took the opportunity to take a seat during their 18k hike. They had headed from Kilbroney to Burma road & Ballyedmond Wood then climbed up to Knockshee. Then onto Slieve Martin by paths on the northern slopes, followed the new path to Ballynagelty and down past Cloughmore. From the top carpark they followed the path across the top of the MTB trails to meet the road to the fallows and back to the lower carpark. Thanks Gerry for leading & Karen for assisting .

Glorious sunshine today for our walks from Kilbroney. Our C group covered 15.4k taking in Slieve Meen and Slieve Fadda. Hoping this weather will be staying around for our summer walking. (And for our festival 11-13 September please 🙏). Thanks Paddy for leading.

Our A group were making the most of the Sunday sunshine too. They covered 17.3 km and 1175 metres of ascent, hiking Slieve Binnian, Ben Crom Reservoir and Lizard Gully. Then it was on to Cove, crossing Annalong Valley to climb Hare’s Castle, and returning to Carrick Little. Thanks to Norman for leading.

Our B group had the best of days too. Their walk today was 13km taking in Blue Lough, up and past lower Cove and Cove Lough, up Slieve Lamagan and they returned to the carpark taking in Binnian Lough.
Thanks Kevin and David for leading assisted by Teresa.

Our Cs loved their day in the sunshine too. They headed for Lamagan and joined our Bs for lunch on the summit. A busy day meeting all our other groups, as their path crossed with our A and our B+ groups who all descended via the path between upper Cove & Lamagan too.
Thanks to Paddy for leading and Frances & Norman for assisting.
