NORTH Clare romantics take note, a special Moonlight to Midnight walk has been organised to take place on the Flaggy Shore next month.
The walk, which will take place on April 18, will be undertaken in complete darkness except for the moonlight and a few guiding torches placed along the way to add atmos- joa ken
All the money from the event will go towards the Irish Red Cross.
“It is going to be a very relaxed, kind of serene night. We will have no light, no nothing. The full moon
is out that night so we are going to meet at the Flaggy Shore at half nine and we are going to start rambling at 10,” said organiser Joe Queally.
“It’s about four and a half miles of aramble, maybe five. Just to add a bit of extra atmosphere to the occasion we are going to have a few old fash- ioned lanterns placed along the way.
“We are going to have music on the beach as well. As people pass by in the moonlight we have a flute player and a violin player going as well. They are just to help to get the stones talking and get the ocean talking as well. We are hoping it’s going to be a bit of a fairytale night.
The Moonlight to Midnight walk was officially launched in Linane’s of Bellharbour last week.
“It would be a great night for peo- ple to look to renew old friendships, a night to help the Red Cross or for young people just to get out there and enjoy themselves, to hold hands and walk,’ continued Joe.
“It’s nota long walk and we will be taking it very handy as well. More of a stroll. We will be keeping the group fairly together, no one will be flying off in front, but we want people to have their privacy to be together in the group.
“It’s a nice relaxing walk for eve-
ryone. It would be a great walk for people who want to walk it on their own, clear their head and find peace in their head. It should be a very spe- cial night.”
All people need to do to take part is to get a Sponsorship card from Joe and collect €100 worth of sponsor- ship for the Red Cross. For more in- formation or to collect a sponsorship card, contact Joe on 087-6260301.
