Trails

Hi all, We will meet at Lough Bray car parking for 9.40, on the trails ASAP thereafter. We will scramble up Eagles Crag, then head to Kippure mast (highest point in Dublin district). Then taking in a circular loop we will return to car park via Lough Brays. There may be some hillside with boggy and wet ground thrown in for good measure. Appropriate hiking gear & bring gaiters if you have them on this hike. Please bring some lunch and drinks of your choice. See you there :-).

***Mountain Skills for Only €120 / course*** Ever wanted to learn the skills you need to become a competent navigator in the Irish mountains, the UK, the Alps or beyond! As a fully qualified mountain guide and course provider for Mountaineering Ireland and the UK, I run Mountain Skills which is a nationally accredited course and is delivered in an upland environment. Hiking in Ireland can be challenging not only because of its wilderness, but the island has very little sign posted hiking trails in the mountains or hills. In addition to this, as being an island in the Atlantic we experience the forces of nature; storms and weather events. In other words, Ireland is probably the best place in Europe to learn a new outdoor skill like Mountain Skills. The aim of this course is to help you learn the skills you need to get out hiking in the hills and mountains independently, safely and responsibly. You will learn how to navigate with confidence by any type of weather conditions. A Mountain Skills course is run over 2 days in an upland environment and covers: Map reading, map description, map scale, contour lines, land and ground features, navigation legs, simple navigation techniques, setting the map, the 5 D, estimation of direction & destination, grid reference, mountain hazards, hypothermia, mountain environment, timing, pacing, route planning, route card, emergency procedures, personal equipment, safe movement skills, river crossing and much more… Some level of fitness is essential in taking part in this course. Each course (MS1 / MS2) is a 20 hour syllabus which includes indoor and outdoor sessions and night navigation (MS2) **A course includes:** Maps and compass provided, tea breaks, course notes, 3 route cards, a free hiking day practice as part of a weekend. **For Only €100 for under 18 and students and €120 for adults.** Accommodations can be provided Feb 21-22 MS1 Comeragh, Co.Waterford Feb 26/March 01 - MS2 in Glenmalure, Co.Wicklow March 21-22 MS1 Glenmalure, Co.Wicklow March 28-29 MS2 Glenmalure, Co.Wicklow April 09-10 MS1 Glenmalure, Co.

Let’s meet at Connolly Station and take the DART together to Dalkey. From there, we’ll walk through the village, head up Killiney Hill for stunning views, then go down to Killiney Beach. We’ll stop for coffee and chats either halfway at the top of Killiney Hill (there’s a café nearby) or at the end near the beach. It’s a relaxed walk — no pressure to talk too much, go fast, or be social if you’re feeling quiet. Well will be meeting at Connolly Station (meeting at Pret A Manger near the ticket machines) at 13:00, we will wait 10 minutes for everyone then taking the DART to Dalkey, we will be walking to Killiney Hill Car park and then starting and finishing at Killiney Train Station. 🎒 What to Bring: • Walking shoes • Travel card (Leap Card or ticket for DART) • Water • Layers or light jacket • Anything that helps you feel comfy (headphones, snack) • This walk includes a gentle hill. We’ll go at a calm pace. • You can stay quiet or chat — whatever suits you. • All welcome, especially if you’re new or prefer small, peaceful meetups. We can go for a drink or cafe after it is up to you. The event costs 5 Euros worth, helping make to more events, because it takes time and effort making this and I want to make everything perfect and safe
