ClubWalks Our walks are not graded. Everyone does the same walk therefore a good level of fitness is required. On the day the walk leader can refuse to take someone who is not properly equipped or whom they consider to be not fit enough. The leader also decides on the route to be taken and has the authority to decide to cancel, postpone, shorten or reroute if the conditions demand it. They may also decide to move the walk to the Saturday if they feel the weather will be more favourable. Members are required to bring adequate gear to meet the adverse weather conditions and any emergencies that can occur in the mountain environment. The following is a list of recommended gear: - Suitable boots, raingear, maps, compass, whistle, torch, suitable clothing for the conditions (No Denims), gloves, hat, enough food and drink for the day and lastly a suitable rucksack with waterproof liner. NB No Dogs. ATTENTION: Walks leaders and wall managers; please make alternative arrangements if unable to attend.
Annual climb of Carrantuathail We don't appoint leaders for this walk as there may be an unmanageable number of people. members can contact other members to make arrangements.

| CAR POOLING As parking is restricted in some of the areas that we visit we recommend car sharing to minimise the number of vehicles. |
| CLUB WALKS
Currently we hold two walks on the designated Sunday. The main walks are listed in the calendar. These generally start early and can be long and strenuous. The alternative walks start later and are easier. These are advertised on an ad hoc basis at the moment. information on both walks will be sent to members and will be published on our Facebook page on the Friday/Saturday preceding the walk. XMAS PARTY The annual Christmas "get together" will be held close to the festive season. Location and date will follow soon.
