Closing Run 2013

On Sunday 13th October Breffni Vintage Club had our closing run for 2013. The run began in Derrylin in glorious sunshine at St. Ninnidhs hall where refreshments were served. We made our first stop on the top of Doon where we learned about some of the history of the area.

The next stop was at a monument in tribute to the border busters 1 mile outside of Swanlinbar.
