Leader’s Note: It will be very mucky, you will need poles ,and boots. You may also need to be hosed down after the walk and will definitely need a change of clothes. 

Last year Claire Cunningham sang a wonderful song, Claire Allcutt baked a cake, Fidelma Carroll taught us how to make a St Brigid’s Day Cross . I am interested in others who can share a song or a poetry reading on the banks of the Boyne.
