Hillwalkers Club 2008 (Membership €35.00)
For experienced hikers with a good level of fitness. The Hillwalkers Club organises one hike every Sunday and an Introductory Hard Hike, one Sunday every month. This special hike is geared towards non-members who are interested in finding out about the club, the distances covered and the pace of the hikes.
In the event that the hike is too fast or long, the Hillwalkers Club recommends more moderate hikes organised by the Photographic Club. In addition the Hillwalkers Club organise first-aid and navigation courses during the year.
The club activities include weekends and holidays in Ireland and abroad. The membership includes a monthly magazine, membership to the MCI and standard third party liability insurance. For more information on this months hikes and scheduled events please visit the hillwalkers website or go directly to this months hikes by clicking here!
It is imperative that the instructions of the Hike Leaders be adhered to by those participating. The Leader sets the pace of the hike and walkers are expected to obey his/her instructions at all times. Leaders have the right to refuse to take anyone who does not co-operate with them fully and anyone who they consider would not be able to walk at a reasonable pace especially on the Moderate Hikes.
Walkers who go on Moderate Hikes should be fit and able to keep up with the hike. A Co-Ordinator has been appointed each Sunday to organise hikers on Eden Quay. This person will also lead another hike on the day if required.
