Your First Hike.
Your first hike with the club must be a guest introductory walk as the grade is lower and you will find it easier. Before you attend your guest introductory hike you may be wondering what to bring, or what to expect as the walking day unfolds. Please see the download below for essential information.

Well we have put together this article which will help you have a positive and rewarding day, but first let us say that you will find that people are really inclusive of new and guest members. The atmosphere is laid back and the guides are helpful and friendly and love what they do. We understand that joining any new group can initially be a bit daunting (it was for most of us) so we make it as easy as possible with on-line sign up. You can book in for your hike from the comfort of your own home. It should take less than a minute. Simply go to the 'Book Your Hike' page where you can book in for one guest introductory hike before you take out membership.

We depart from Copley street, in the city centre at 845am on the morning of the hike. The Club has a policy of car pooling where possible. Please book in with the hike leader when you arrive. If you take a lift from a driver then before you depart please give the driver €10.00 towards fuel costs.
Please note hiking boots and rain gear is essential for safety. No Boots means no hike!
Hiking Gear
