Howl at the Moon for Galway Mountain Rescue

GALWAY Mountain Rescue Team is calling on Galway adventurers and nature lovers to support their annual fundraiser.

The event ‘Howl at the Moon’ is a unique walking challenge set in Galway Wind Park on the evening of the Harvest Full Moon, Saturday, September 26.

It offers an opportunity for participants to hike around the Galway Wind Farm under the full moon, following either a nine kilometre or a 17km route.

“Galway Mountain Rescue is very appreciative of the support that we receive from the public,” said Dermot Hughes, a member of Galway Mountain Rescue team.

“All funds will go towards our voluntary activities of helping those who need our assistance in the remote and upland areas of Galway and Clar,” he added.

Participants are encouraged to come prepared with suitable warm gear and a head torch.

The walk starts at 6.15pm from Galway Wind Park – SSE Renewables, Lettercraffroe, Knock South, Galway.
