Description 
A 5-hour trip with 4 hours on the island - to include a tour and history of buildings in the harbour area, a walk to the highest point of Lambay, and a barbecue with refreshments before leaving.  It's an easy and short "C" walk.  We can expect to see many wallabies running wild, but quite at home on Lambay.  

Typical C Walk - no river crossings

Gear Recommendations 
As appropriate for the weather.  We're in an open boat, 30 minutes each way, and it may be cold & windy at sea. Otherwise, comfortable walking shoes to allow for wet fields.  Consider taking drinks/snacks, as the barbecue may not start until 2:30pm or later.

This outing, on Monday 17th August replaces a Friday walk that Paul and Mark Quinn were scheduled to lead on 14th August. There are 12 places in total, limited by the licensed capacity of the boat.  The outing is weather dependent and will only be confirmed a few days in advance when the weather forecast can be ‘relied upon’.
