Donnacha: Thanks to everyone for attending the 2016 New Years Resolution Event and making it one of the most memorable Resolution events to date. It’s hard to believe that 51 people turned up for the walk given the heavy rain most would have seen early in the morning. Delighted to see the hardcore dedication displayed by one and all! We were lucky as the weather broke just before we all gathered for the group photo and headed off.
I would like to thank Nigel and Jackie for their help in planning the route. Their knowledge of the area was key in planning a safe route for everyone to enjoy.
A second thanks to Nigel for the excellent photos taken on the day, including the traditional group photo before we depart. Great to see you in the photo this year Nigel (thanks to the use of a tripod)!
There was a change in tradition as this year we had a secondary event for the first time. Thanks to Eileen for bringing the Chatty Cache event to the Carrickdale. It was a fabulous evening with great chat & craic.
A third thanks to Nigel (we get our monies worth!) for guiding us around Slieve Gullion Forest Park on Sunday, even though he had found most of the caches.
Finally thanks to all of you who continually turn up every year and make the event what it is. I wish you all the best for 2016, and I look forward to seeing you at the event in 2017 at a yet to be decided location. Suggestions on a postcard to Europe’s First, GC43, Bray, Co. Wicklow. [:)]
