To celebrate this event members of the Delvin Historical Society along with friends and visitors from Holland met at Lough Lene for their walk to Fore Abbey.

At approximately 3.00pm on a beautiful sunny day we set off with 26 walkers which included children. The surrounding hills, lush grass and trees provided a very relaxing Sunday afternoon as we walked and talked.

On arriving in Fore we were welcomed by Jane who runs the coffee shop where we partook of refreshments. Music was provided by Bracklyn and friends and was very well received. At around 6.00pm we made the return journey to Lough Lene to complete a most uplifting day.

Thank you to everyone who supported this event.
