Tain Walk 2008

On Sunday 28th Septembe 2008, Setanta once again walked the part of the famous Táin Trail. Having enjoyed a walk along the Trail with archaeologist Paul Gosling in 2003, this has become an annual event. Amazingly, in this extremely wet summer, the day was warm, and most importantly, dry. Once again, It was a wonderful experience and all the members enjoyed the exercise, the glorious scenery, the pint in PJs and the sing-song in the evening - despite the aches and pains in the muscles the next day.
