* All grade 1 and 2 and hikes are for members only unless you have come out with us on a previous Sunday hike to experience what our type of hike is.
We welcome all new members to try out a grade 3 introductory hike (make sure you read the new members page first) and once they are happy with the conditions they a can do a grade 2 or one. You should note that that we would expect you to become a member after 3 walks in order to become insured with Mountaineering Ireland through our club.
If you have not been on a hike before you must contact the walk leader in good time first.

Grading of the Sunday Hikes The club hikes are graded as follows in accordance with their challenge. Grade 1 – Tough / good level of fitness required *Typically grade 1 is 18-24km (with substantial climbs (6 hours +) Grade 2 – Strenuous / suitable for most regular walkers but tougher than grade 3 (5 – 6 hours) 14-18km Grade 3 – Moderate / suitable for people if they have a reasonable level of general fitness and some hill walking experience (4 – 5 hours). Please note though that these hike are mostly off tracks and are across rough terrain and steep hills. 10-14km Also although it is a grade 3 walk we are out for most of the day and would on a grade 3 walk not be back in car park until about 7ish or sometimes a bit later in the summer as we drop into a local er tavern for soft drinks! and maybe a bite to eat and chat so be warned just in case you have concert tickets or some such definite time to be back at.
