What we’re about
We will hike regularly at a moderate pace and have a laugh and chat…This is a supportive friendly group…These hikes will take place in Wicklow and sometimes in the many other mountainous areas around the country…We will take day trips to The Mourne Mountains…The Cooley Mountains in Carlingford…The Galty Mountains…The Commeragh Mountains…The Slieve Bloom Mountains…and weekend trips further afield!…
While the pace of hikes will be moderate and supportive, it is very important to have a reasonable level of fitness…A test for yourself would be if you can walk 15km in flat areas (ie not on the mountains) in around 4 hours without being overly tired….If you cannot do this, then you would need to increase your fitness before joining a hike.
Every hiker should have the following items at all times: a wool hat, scarf, waterproof gloves, waterproof, gortex type jacket and waterproof trousers and ankle support boots, food and water…Strictly no dogs allowed on hikes…As a hiker becoming unwell on the mountains poses a risk not only to themselves and to others, the hike organiser has the right to refuse any person who has not got clothing suitable for winter hikes…The organiser will take every precaution to ensure a safe hike…but…it is important to note that by signing up to a hike with this group you accept total responsibility for your own health and safety
while attending an event/hike.
This group is open to anyone over the age of 18 with a reasonable level of fitness and who wants to explore the mountains while getting to meet new people.
You must have an appropriate profile photo to be accepted onto any of these hikes…No exceptions!
