The route starts from The Brandon Car-Park, up O’Rahillys Villas, up towards Lohercannon and on to Blennerville before finishing back at The Brandon.
7. Go shop…
The CH event on Friday kicked it off, now it’s really full on shopping season so get organised early for Christmas this year by hitting your local shops.
