   "Charlie the Hiker". A travelling man named "Charlie the Hiker often visits this area. Charlie says that in his young days he was in the army. He wanders around the County Wexford. He wears a satchel on his back and always wears a long brown coat. Charlie is not a very good hand at story-telling.
   Another famous character is a man called "Black Lead", He lives in the town of Wexford and he travels all over Ireland and comes back to Wexford at the end of the year. The people call him "Black Lead", because he is always dressed up in "oil skins".
