I know this is early but am hoping to get back into doing parkrun sat mornings so I am thinking of doing a day out at the one on Inis Meáin. I did it a few years ago and the scenery was absolutely stunning. A lovely community supported one too. Lots of people walk the route - Parkrun always have walking volunteers at the back to make sure nobody is left out.

The boats from Doolin go on certain dates in summer so was thinking June 13th be good - give time to anyone looking to do C25km too 😀 If weather is bad can always do the date which is June 27th. I haven’t decided yet if will stay on the island for the night - will decide a bit closer to june. I will book ferry ticket start of June and will post in comments when I do. If you are interested let me know in the comments section. Go raibh maith agaibh 😀

Here are links to the ferry, info on island etc
