Transition Year trip to Lough Derg

The rain lashed down and the wind blew hard on the island of Lough Derg but nothing could stop the Transition Years from enjoying a memorable trip to this ancient pilgrimage site in Co. Donegal. The Transition Years followed in the footsteps of pilgrims who have been travelling to Lough Derg from all over the world for over 1200 years and their day of reflection will no doubts live long in their memory.
