A hectic Sunday schedule with sponsored rides and harvest feasts means that our club meeting is moving to Monday 27 September, 8pm, Tír na nOg. Everybody is welcome.
Millers Hill lives up to Millers Hill
A success in Year 1 is so often followed by an anticlimax in Year 2. Incessant rain, busted lorries and injured horses failed to dampen spirits and Year 2 matched (if not exceeded) the expectations that had lingered over the 12 months since our 2009 visit to Millers Hill. The Shark Partnership of Leo &Continue reading “Millers Hill lives up to Millers Hill”
All set for Millers Hill
Unexpected yankee visitors, sick animals and elusive baby-sitters have diluted the numbers for Millers Hill but there’ll still be a notable convoy heading down the road on Saturday morning. Mick and Leo missed the expedition last year but nothing short of an earthquake will prevent them travelling tomorrow. They’ll be joined by 2009 veterans AudreyContinue reading “All set for Millers Hill”
Where do we come from?
As our membership nears its peak 2009 level again, it’s interesting to get a geographic overview of the club. We’ll update this map on a regular basis and store it in the Club section of the website.

National Trails Day dead end
Months ago, following the first announcement of Sunday 3 October as the 2010 date for National Trails Day, the club submitted a request to Coillte for permission to hold a ride-out in Ards Forest Park. Silence. Repeated attempts to confirm that the request had been received were greeted with… yes, silence. A couple of weeksContinue reading “National Trails Day dead end”
Hunter trialling in the (scarcely) distant past
A quick google search for further details on the (hopefully) upcoming hunter trials at Annaghmore in Sligo threw up this article in the Irish Independent. Reading the intro paragraphs, it’s amusing to think that it was written just over three years ago — especially the line about the rows of shiny 4 x 4s. ManyContinue reading “Hunter trialling in the (scarcely) distant past”
