River Lee Walk, Munch and Meditate with Spiritual Friends

River Lee Walk, Munch and Meditate

Expect the day to be social and chilled out. We will walk at a leisurely pace with time to chat, time for silence and of course ample time to enjoy and admire our surroundings. We are better talkers than walkers so don't expect to get anywhere fast :-)

A Day out to Celebrate Spring, for me my favourite of the seasons for walking.
