Every year
we head off into the desert for an overnight trip. This trip incorporates
a night time navigation exercise...finding your way home to the campsite using
only the stars as a guide. People like Frank Hughes and Johnny Rea give the
basic instruction and then we head off...perhaps never to be seen again!
December 1999...here's
a bit of what happened
Like a mirage...our hero arrives to guide us out of the wilderness...
Captain Johnny Rea
And with
his little helper soon has a fire to nourish us all...
Frank
can't seriously want us to walk that far ...some of the group get their
first glimpse of the route for "Roisin's Ramble"
Fiona, Anne
and Maura return from the daylight ramble...spot the camel in the background!
December 2000...nearly
all new faces
Sarah gets
the kick around under way...just like back home in Belmullet
Dessie and
Tom keep the ball moving...there is a ball there somewhere
The supporters and subs can hardly suppress their excitement...and an early view of Aine 'Sticks' Fay's soon to be famous knee
Reilly poses
for the sunset shot
Yep...that's
us
Trevor, Stephen
and Anthony...somewhere out in the dunes...enjoying the silence and the darkness...but
not the run
