We go out walking most Sundays throughout the year. Walks are usually in Co. Donegal, Co. Derry and the North Antrim Coast. To join the Club and receive walk alerts please register as a new member. Walk alerts are send out mid-week for the following Sunday. As walks are limited 15 people per walk let us know asap if you wish to come along!
New members should join a New Members Walk as their first outing with the Club which are held on the first Sunday of each month. Please note new members will not be accepted otherwise. Please also let the Walk Facilitator know if you have any medical conditions that we should be aware of.
There is a small Club funds contribution of £1 or 1.20 Euro per person which is used for the first aid kit, maps, etc. We also car share, so please let us know if you have a car and are willing to carry passengers. A petrol contribution of £4 or 4.80 Euro per passenger is given to your driver if you need a lift. Car seats are allocated on a first come basis and are dependent on the number of cars available on the day.
