Walk Classifications
The club walks all year round on the second (2nd) and fourth (4th) Sunday of every month. Walks start at 10.00 am, beginning and ending at the same location, in either the Mourne and Cooley Mountains or Sliabh Gullion [Slieve Gullion]. [See Walks Programme link for location information.]
Four grades of walk [A, B+, B and C] are offered – see below. If you are new to hill walking and it’s your first-time, with us, we suggest you start with the C group.
