Other Information

This walk is open to all members to join. Members who wish to practice their navigation skills will have the opportunity to do so, however if you just want to come along and enjoy the walk you are most welcome to do so.

There will be two tutors on the walk, Geraldine Boland and Alan Kane. The maximum number of walkers is 20. In order to practice our navigation we will split into groups.

Members who wish to complete a route card can do so and have it reviewed by one of the tutors. To complete a route card you will need the EastWest Wicklow East 1:25000 map.

Below is a Map of the route with the five stages highlighted and a Route Card template with the start and finish points of the five stages. The start and end point of each stage is indicated by an asterisk on the map.

Members may also like to create the route in Outdoor Active or Hiiker, well worth doing.

If you have any questions do not hesitate to get in touch
