| Angela Flynn | Aug 11 2020, 7:07pm | Hi all, IMRA has adopted the Sugarloaf mountain as its Pure Mile. Organisations and communities adopt a mile to keep it litter free. We are organising a clean up of the Car park. This Sunday, 16th Aug 10-12. I am looking for 10 volunteers to assist with the clean up. Pickers, gloves, bags etc provided. Some of you may have seen the rubbish harming the area surrounding the Sugarloaf recently, and as an organisation who enjoy the beauty of this area, I would appreciate all help offered. The landowners are delighted to have IMRA on board! Post here if you are available. Details regarding meeting location to follow. Angela |

| Angela Flynn | Aug 15 2020, 9:46pm | Hi all Thanks for all the offers of help and the apologies too. I appreciate it was short notice but there will always be more rubbish to collect.. The car park in Kilmac is at the Roundabout. I'll be at the rbt at 9.15..if you plan to run up from there I'll take your bag for clothes changing. If you are driving its the Sugarloaf Car park just off the main roundwood road. Meet there for 10. I should be able to hold a few parking spaces for those driving there. There is usually a guy selling coffee and I have some baked goodies and soft drinks. See you there |
| Graham K. Bushe | Aug 16 2020, 7:19am | Hi Angela, we have hurling training this morning so I went out just after 6 this morning. Got a bag from up around the summit, but there are so many tracks up there... I'm sure there's plenty more rubbish unfortunately. Great initiative, Graham https://strava.app.link/zbXUfSXsZ8 |
| Angela Flynn | Aug 17 2020, 9:50am | Hi all Thanks a million to all of you who helped out with the clean up yesterday, in what was a pretty dismal day. We collected 23 bags of rubbish which included the Sugarloaf and the commons. (A few other bags came from rubbish collected at Ballyorney and Lough Bray.) A local family also came out to help. Kevin Molloy, the local farmer looks after the pure mile on the road and organising the truck to collect it. |
