Darkness Into Light returns to Moyvane for the second year and will take place on Saturday 9th May commencing at 4:15am.
Last year’s walk was fantastic and the local committee are busy putting everything in place ahead of this year’s event.
A video is available on YouTube from last years event, it is available at the following link:
Moyvane is one of 7 locations in Kerry and is the most convenient for North Kerry and West Limerick. This is a community event and people from neighbouring areas are all invited to attend on the night. The walk will leave Moyvane Community Centre (V31 KD91) at 4:15am sharp.
There will be no parking at the community centre, this is used for emergency vehicles and wheelchair users only. Parking will be available in the village and all local car parks, please obey stewards who will be in position to ensure the parking is controlled and not causing an obstruction.
This years route has been extended and will now be 5km in total taking in all local roads in the village, the lime kiln, Woodlands and Moyvane GAA field walk.
Refreshments will be served in the community centre after the walk, everyone is invited to call in for a chat and a cuppa. This proved very popular last year and everyone was very appreciative of the hospitality and chance to have a chat in peaceful surroundings.
Pieta as always offer free counselling to those with suicidal thoughts, those engaging in self-harm and people bereaved by suicide. Freephone 1800 247 247 or Text HELP to 51444.
