Knockmealdown & Sugarloaf Hillwalk 2004

On Sunday 9th May we had a Parent & Macaoimh Hillwalk in the Knockmealdowns in Co. Waterford.  The day was beatificul and sunny and very clear.  We met in Lismore and proceeded in convoy to the Car Park on the county bounds between Waterford & Tipperary.

The first part of the hike was a worst part of the clinb upto the gap between the two hills. Firstly we headed to the Knockmealdown which is the highest mountain in th area at 794 meters high. It was a lovely walk and eveybody enjoyed it.  We took some pictures and walked down a bit for lunch.  

Then we set off for the Sugar Loaf (at only 663 meters high it was just as easy!)  on the top the parents were presented with a gold pin with the scout sign for their achievements and teh macoimh had another part of their hiker badge done. Everybody had a great day - nobody complained at all (least of all the parents) and everbody is looking forward to the next hike !
