What gear do I need !
Wear comfortable clothing like – leggings, tracksuit bottoms, breathable T-Shirt and
fleece & an extra warm layer (but no cotton fabrics and no jeans).
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 (No runners) 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.

epipen etc…
In Addition: you can bring an OS map of the area or an East West map.
However, maps and a compass can be provided by the instructor. Have your phone fully charged .
Some level of fitness is essential for those hikes which can be strenuous and up to 7
hours in duration.

Accommodation in a dormitory is €27/night (4 beds in males. 4 beds in female or 8 beds mixed)
