A Message From The Walk Leader

Welcome to the Galway Photo Walk page.

We’ll be meeting on Eyre Square, close to the seats in front on the Tourist Office Kiosk at the top left of the Square, near Browne’s Doorway. I’ll be there close to 3pm and we’ll begin a little after that.

Our intended route of the walk is down Shop Street. Next we’ll scoot around St Nicholas Cathedral, then down by the river via the walkway at Jurys Inn. I think there’s plenty of time to go down to Claddagh Hall from here and see a little of the new flags on Nimmos pier.From there we’ll procede around the Long Walk via Spanish Arch, onto the Docks, finishing up at Bar No 8. Usually the weather is good at this time of the year, so I’m hoping it’ll be sunny for some of it.

Saturday the 18th has the honourable position of being bang smack in the middle of the Galway Arts Festival (13th-26th July). After checking the program, it looks like there will be little happening street theatre wise. That said, there’s often an influx of performers on the streets anyway, so all is not lost.

Update: Thanks to all the folks that showed up. I know the weather wasn’t great, but it was still great getting out there and getting shots, despite the rain. It was good fun and a bit of exercise to boot.

I was surprised by the variety of shots I saw on the backs of the cameras, so I’m looking forward to seeing your entries. Good luck to all of you.
