New members are always welcome, at any time during the year. No experience is necessary, although a certain level of fitness is obviously required. Although all our members are insured through Mountaineering Ireland for accident (limited to very serious injuries) and personal liability, hillwalking is recognized as a potentially dangerous sport. Members are thus encouraged to obtain their own insurance cover.
Before you decide to become a full member, it is recommended that you undertake one or two walks with the club. This will enable you to assess your own fitness level and will guide you as to which types of walks will be suitable. No membership fee is payable until you have completed two walks, at which stage a fee of €50 is due.
The following equipment will be necessary for your first and subsequent walks with the club:
Walks are graded for level of difficulty, though this can be very subjective
