Google Mapping Walk   Part 2

On Saturday July 22 2017 Damien O'Mahoney led a group of volunteers on a walk around Listowel. The purpose of the walk was to collect images of Listowel to add to Google Interactive Maps in order to improve Listowel's presence on the web, thus raising the profile of the town and promoting business and tourism.

Our photo album is HERE




We are now on the river walk. My boys loved taking the photos and they don't mind that I get all the credit. Damien organised a treasure hunt to keep the younger members of our party interested.



Seán needed a little adult help to find the first  clue. It directed us to the next location where we were to look for a key.




The day was gloriously sunny and the river walk was peaceful.



In the old ball alley we posed for the a group photo. Charlie Nolan took it so I'm in it and he's not.



We found the key!


In the Garden of Europe we found the box and Sean needed help to undo  the chain to reveal the loot....sweets.





We strolled on to St. Michael's graveyard and I took this photo of John B's gravestone.

I'm sure the Tidy Towns' judges will be impressed.
