About

Next year in 2023 we are celebrating our 10th anniversary as a club. Members travel from far and wide to join us on our walks in the Mournes and Cooley’s each Tuesday and Friday.
Our club is aimed primarily at the 50+ age group and we have multiple levels of walks available.  This helps ensure that everybody enjoys the walking and banter that goes along with it.  So whatever you prefer, whether it’s a leisurely walk or a more strenuous one, the club offers these options to you.  You are welcome to join us on a walk without having to “officially” join the club.  You can decide if you would like to  join after you have have been out on a walk with us.

The club places particular emphasis on safety.  Each walk is led by a qualified leader and often supported by other more experienced club members.

Walks commence each Tuesday and Friday between 9:45 and 10:00 from different locations which are outlined on the clubs website.  Always check the day you walk as sometimes these locations may change due to weather or other factors.

When you first walk with us you are invited on a ’T’ walk, which takes place every Tuesday so you can gauge your own level of fitness and ability.  After this you can decide if you want join in on the other grades.

Over the years we have also organised Spring and Autumn trips over 3 nights that have proved to be immensely popular.  This gives members the option of visiting other places in Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales.
