There was great talk last night about The Walk and The Golden Mile.It appears that a local radio had a feature on these two areas and Pat and John Hardiman and their wives filled us in on the location. The Walk is a mile of roadway stretching a mile south of Rooty schoolhouse accessed by turning right at Clonfad Church two miles from Shannonbridge.The Golden Mile is before you reach the Walk and has got the name from the amount of rubbish collected from the hedgerows by a group of dedicated people living in the Drumalga area such as Rose Bracken, Ag Craven, Martin Craven and Pakey Goode.The operation of collecting rubbish from the ditches yielded sixty sacks from the Golden Mile.Well done to everyone involved.
