The Nephin Begers Hill Walking Group

Twelve people standing together, holding a large donation cheque made out to Mayo Roscommon Hospice for €7,290.00 from Nephin Begers Walk 2023. They are smiling indoors in front of a painting, proudly supporting the vital work of Mayo Roscommon Hospice.

The Nephin Begers hill walking group’s Night Walk took place again on Saturday, March 22nd.

Registration took place at Brannens Bar, Newport, and the walk commenced at 7.00pm. The walk was 9km in length and reached a height of 580m at the summit of Buckagh mountain. All done by torchlight, with amazing views of the night sky.

An incredible €7,290 was raised from the event and the cheque presented to our CEO, Martina Jennings.
