The theme was the “Irish Rover”, an Irish ballad about a large ship with 23 masts that set sail from Cork to New York with a huge cargo and a motley crew that never made it to their destination. Thankfully all our crew made it round this morning’s rove (ramble) around community park, exercising with counts of 23 along the way with multiple versions of the song to spur us along.
