The stunning setting of Tory Island will provide the perfect backdrop for a 10K walk in aid of a very special cause next Saturday.

The walk, from East Town to West Town, will take place for the Irish Guide Dogs on August 9th.

If you have never visited Tory Island then this is your perfect chance.

From boasting its very own King in the affable Patsy Dan Rodgers to the Tory Island Painters, the island is a remarkable piece of the Donegal landscape which not enough of us see.

The cost of the walk is €10 per adult, €5 per child and €20 per family.

Registration is at 12.45pm at the Harbour Hotel and the walk commences at 1.30pm.

A reduced boat fare of just €20 return is available for walkers.

There will also be refreshments and a session in the Harbour View Hotel which is now run by the former lighthouse keeper Sean Doherty and his family.

If you have always wanted to visit Tory then now is your chance to do so for a good cause.

For more details ring Bernie on 086 603 9343 or email margaretosullivan@guidedogs.ie.
