Thanks to the many of you who have already booked for Stage 3 of St. Declan's Way 2019. This is the most spectacular of the stages, travelling from Goatenbridge, across the magnificent Knockmealdown Mountains, stopping at Mount Melleray Abbey for lunch, before finally walking on to the historic heritage town of Lismore.
Demand has been very strong and the third stage will likely be booked out in advance of departure on June 29th. If you wish to secure your place on this, and later stages, now would be a good time to sign up.
There is a limit to the number of participants who can be can physically taken along the route, and once capacity is reached for any given stage there will be a stop put on further bookings.
If you wish to participate, don't delay, book your place now at
