It is hoped that the Sl\u00ed will be like Camino de Santiago in Spain. From the 9th to the 12th June there will be an opportunity to get to know the natural world a walk for the body and spirit and company in Irish in the heart of the Donegal Gaeltacht.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From 2020 there has been a pilgrimage each year on Sli Cholmcille in Donegal, but this is the first walk and pilgrimage that is entirely in Irish. It is being organised by language planning districts, and Gaeltacht cooperatives in collaboration wtih the Colmcille programme of Foras na Gaeilge, and in association with Sl\u00ed Cholmcille clg.

The walk will start on St Colmcille\u2019s feastday, the 9th June in Gleann Cholm Cille. On the 10 June the walk will be between Tobar Eithne, dedicated to Eithne, mother of Colmcille, and Gart\u00e1n where he was born and where there are other sites associated with his childhood. On the third day the walk will start at Ray Cross, a site with close links to the Abbey of Iona, and will finish at Cnoc na Naomh. On the 12th June there will be a journey to Tory, which has a rich heritage associated with its Columban monastery.
