This year’s benefiting charity once again is the Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation. This annual charity walk has raised more than €200,000 for local and national charities since its inception, and it has always been a very enjoyable event. The participants have a choice of routes, none of which is more than 10km. You may walk as much or as little as you wish. Bicycles can also be brought across on the ferry or hired on the island to help you explore more of the fabulous land and seascapes.

Entry is simple. Make a donation of €50 per person or raise a minimum of €50 per person in sponsorship for Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation. This can be done via sponsorship card or online. Sponsorship also includes free bus transfer from Castlebar or Westport if required, and free ferry crossing.

Assembly Point on Saturday June 21st is at Roonagh Pier at 10.15am for the 10.45am ferry; return ferries will leave the island at 4.45 and 6pm (crossing takes approx. 20 minutes).
