Guided Hike with navigation Tips and MS refresher in the Wicklow Mountains

Guided Hike with navigations tips and MS refresher in the Wicklow Mountains.
Walking in the Wicklow Mountains with a qualified mountain leader and course director with Mountaineering Ireland is a great way to step out of your comfort zone, to discover another side of the Wicklow mountains with its wildlife and biodiversity, where the spectacular views of the lowland surroundings can be enjoyed from a summit.
As part of the hike, I’ll introduce some orienteering and navigation skills;
map reading, mountain hazards, how to set and read a map, equipment, an introduction to compass and how to be safe in the mountains in any weather conditions in poor visibility or/and at night.
In addition to this, I’ll give you a guided Tour of the area which will include:
Ireland during the Ice Age and the geology, fauna and flora
Our hikes are not only enjoyable but, educative too.
Meeting and pin location provided upon booking.
Duration: 4h30 included breaks
Grade: easy to moderate
What gear do I need!
Wear comfortable clothing; leggings, tracksuit bottoms, breathable T-Shirt and fleece & an extra warm layer. Be ready for the rain and pack a rain jacket and rain trousers. A hat and gloves to keep you safe from the wind. Wear good sturdy hiking boots or with woolly or synthetic socks. Have a backpack with water (minimum 1.5 litres, sandwiches and snacks, coffee, or tea. There is nothing more rewarding than a nice cup of coffee or tea drunk on top of the mountain. Don’t forget to bring first aid kit with plaster and bandages, personal medicine, inhaler, epipen etc.
A map and a compass can be provided for the day. Have your phone fully charged too.
