After another great Skibbereen Walking Festival 2018 served up 6 brilliant sell out walks this year who didn’t fall in love with the joys of sustainable transport?  But while we have all had a go at cycling and walking, how many have been rescued by wheelbarrow ambulance.

An injured walker could have called a helicopter to be rescued from Long Island but a deep commitment to sustainability and getting back for the tea and scones on time led the intrepid crew to requisition the local transport.  A mile long hike to the ferry was managed by a relay of walkers driving the ambulance.  Many thanks to them and to the generous islander who lent the vehicle.
