Call out for walk leaders over the next few weeks

Now that restrictions have been eased, we are going to make the best of it and meet up as often as possible. If anyone is interested in leading a walk over the next few weeks, please get in touch with our chairperson Claire Dolphin and she will be happy to accommodate you. We can travel within the county for the moment and from 18th December, all going well, we'll be able to go further afield. If you are organising a walk bear in mind that physical distancing still has to be maintained and you'll need to choose an area with good parking as we can't really car pool or organise a bus.  

If you haven't led a walk before and would like to, please get in touch with any of the committee. We are more than happy to help in whatever way we can.

And we're back....for the moment anyway....sort of....yes.... we're back! Yippee!

Bríd Barrett will lead a local walk on Sunday next 6th December. Meet Gullane's car park at 10am. Grade: Easy road walk. Duration : 2-2.5 hours. Road muddy in places.  

Under Level 3 restrictions, we can walk within the county but must follow guidelines regarding social distancing, travel, wearing of masks etc.  

MI online lecture series

 Mountaineering Ireland are really stepping up (no pun intended) with all the online workshops, lectures and chats. Starting from tomorrow evening, they have organised a month-long lecture series called 'zooming 'round the mountains' and some of the talks and workshops look very promising altogether. There's plenty for everyone, whether its books or challenges or training, hearing about the work of mountain rescue or the environment and archaeology. Clearly a huge effort has gone into organising this and they deserve to be supported. So if you can't manage to get out because of the weather, light the fire, crack open the vino and tune in. 

You can find info on the series on the Mountaineering Ireland website at mountaineering.ie or just click this link. Pre-registration required but all are free of charge for members.
