A few words about us

After many exploratory walks a ‘Twelve O’Clock’ Committee was formed with the idea of developing the area as a local amenity.
Today, the committee are as follows: Chairman Patsy Neville, Vice Chairman John Lenihan, Secretary Ger Grace, Treasurer Antoin Devitt, PRO Maureen Cleary, John Lyons, Joe Hyde, Ger McErlian, Noel Gallagher, and Olive Liddane.

The projects aim is to celebrate the heritage of the many hill dwellers who once lived in Upper Belvoir, Crag and Snata and provide safe and signed walking routes for recreational , heritage and scenic purposes.
