Cheekpoint To Dunmore By Cliff And Shore

Cheekpoint To Dunmore By Cliff And Shore

My Story

In order to raise funds for our local lifeboat station at Dunmore East, a group of us are planning to walk from Cheekpoint via the old coastal tracks and seashore on Sunday 22nd May a distance of 22 KM. 

The core of the crew is my family and friends including my brother Robert, Damien McLellan and Breda Murphy who along with myself Andrew Doherty will chat as we walk about the rich heritage and maritime lore of our area including stops at Hurthill, Passage Hill, Crooke, Woodstown, Fornaght, Creaden, Killea and finally Dunmore East. My wife Deena will be our driving support. 

If you would like to join us for any of the walk at any stage of the day you will be more than welcome.  All donations will go to the RNLI.  

To get a sense of the journey, here's a link to our walk in 2021.  https://tidesandtales.ie/4155-2/

And building on last year we will also have some RNLI-heritage related stories which will be published on my blog throughout May courtesy of David Carroll, highlighting the importance of our local RNLI station and what it means to the community.
