Well this year’s Hospice Annual Autumn Walk would be ideal. You will be heading to the breathtakingly beautiful Horn Head route in Co. Donegal on Saturday 8th October.
Walkers will travel by coach from Southern Area Hospice to Dunfanaghy. The guided walk will take approximately 4-5 hours and cover 10kms of stunning scenery. Walkers will be spoiled with the striking landscapes of the Wild Atlantic Way and views of the Muckish to Errigal Mountain Ranges and the panoramic vista of Tory Island, Fanad Head and the Rossguill Peninsula.
Hospice PR & Events Officer Grainne Mulgrew explains “This year’s walk is spectacular, the scenery is amazing and the walk offers something for all ages and levels of fitness...having recently completed the route with some of the guides from Swilly Hiking Club, it is one of the most beautiful walks on offer! And as always there will be plenty of craic along the way with the group, so I would encourage people to sign up as soon as possible as places will be allocated on a first come basis.”
The Autumn Walk Package includes coach travel from Newry to Dunfanaghy, a guided walk around the Horn Head and an overnight stay in the Mount Errigal Hotel in Letterkenny with Dinner, Bed and Breakfast in the Hotel and a night’s post-walk relaxation with fellow walkers, travelling home on Sunday.
Last year’s Autumn Walk to Rathlin Island was a great success raising over £6,000 for Southern Area Hospice, which is a fantastic boost to funds. This year the Hospice must fundraise £2.42 million in order to continue providing valuable services to patients and families living in the Southern Health Board area.
