Hillwalking Members of the Cork Branch of the RTAI (Retired Teachers’ Association of Ireland) visited Millstreet on the morning of Wednesday, 19th April 2023 to energetically experience the rather challenging Clara Loop Hill Walk. Blessed with splendid weather conditions the inspiring Group set off on their great adventure, wonderfully prepared and accustomed to many such hillwalking occasions. There were quite a few local faces amongst the Group. When completed many of the Group enjoyed greatly appreciated refreshments in Millstreet later in the afternoon. Here we share some 15 images from the magnificent event. Tap on the pictures to enlarge. (S.R.)
