April 2010
"The 8th Annual Five Mile Walk" in Doolin, Co. Clare, Ireland, is scheduled to be held on April 18h this year.
The walk begins and ends at Doolin's Russell Cultural Center whose members have been instrumental
in organizing the annual event. The nearly circular route adopted 7 years ago includes both hills and valleys to
make the walk more challenging and gave organizers better control over opening and closing ceremonies.
Light refreshments, Raffles and Traditional Irish music followed the event.
