The Walks
There are walks each Sunday, mostly in the Mournes. The start point and the names of the leaders are specified in the Walks Programme which is distributed to each member at the start of the year and to all new members when they sign up. The walks start promptly at 10:30. However there are some Special Walks which necessitate an earlier start.Before coming on a walk new members and guests must contact one of our New Members Officers - Fionnuala Carragher (tel 028 90 795292) or Ray Gray (tel 07929401817) - and must have read the Safety on Walks.
Grading of Walks
There are 4 grades of walks and members are encouraged to choose the grade of walk best suited to their fitness level. Experienced hill walkers will probably find the A or B group suitable but please seek clarification from the leader in advance. See the chart below for more details.
