From Under Ben Bulben by W.B. Yeats
From Under Ben Bulben
Under bare Ben Bulben’s head
In Drumcliff churchyard Yeats is laid.
An ancestor was rector there
Long years ago, a church stands near,
By the road an ancient cross.
No marble, no conventional phrase;
On limestone quarried near the spot
By his command these words are cut:
Cast a cold eye
On life, on death.
Horseman, pass by!
W. B. Yeats, 1865 - 1939

An Gasice Adventure Journey
As part of the An Gaisce Bronze Award Aideen and Steve brought a group of trainees on an adventure journey on Monday 12th July. They climbed Truskmore (15.430 km / 9.64 miles), cycled (7.780 / 4.86 miles) and stayed in Benwisken Youth Hostel. The trainees had to plan, train for and complete this outdoor Adventure Journey as
part of a team. This was a unique, enjoyable and memorable experience, as well as an opportunity to experience
self-sufficiency. It was a beautiful day too! Thanks to Barry and William from North West Adventure for their guidance.

Out and about on a nice summer afternoon
Sligo CTC trainees and staff are lucky enough to have a beautiful nature walk less than 500 meters away from the centre. As part of health promotion, trainees and staff tend to use this nature walk to keep fit and healthy. This nature walk in commonly known to the locals as "The Back Avenue".
