The Walks…<br />
Short WalkS<br />
Our short walks take place on the beautiful undulating<br />
country roads in the Lough Talt area. Here we see<br />
<strong>South</strong> <strong>Sligo</strong> at its colourful-best with a great variety of<br />
scenery. Green farm l<strong>and</strong>, rustic hills with smatterings<br />
of woodl<strong>and</strong>… a very enjoyable <strong>and</strong> relaxing outing.<br />
MEDIUM WalkS<br />
Our medium walks for those who have walked before<br />
take place over bog <strong>and</strong> mountain taking in spectacular<br />
views of Lough Talt, Lough Easkey, Lough Conn, <strong>and</strong> on<br />
a fine day views of Enniscrone beach <strong>and</strong> as far away as<br />
the Hills of Donegal. <strong>Walking</strong> gear is essential.<br />
LONG WalkS<br />
Our long walks are for the more seasoned walker<br />
to roam freely through rugged, unspoilt terrain<br />
surrounded by beautiful scenery speckled with high<br />
altitude lakes <strong>and</strong> steams, giving yourself a chance to<br />
experience first h<strong>and</strong> the splendid isolation that is the<br />
Ox mountains. Experienced walkers only.<br />
