Weekend Guided Hike and Mountain Skills practice in the Mournes.

             Weekend guided Hikes and Mountain Skills practice in the Mourne Mountains.

This is a great opportunity for anyone who wants to practice their mountain skills, improve their navigation, as a pre assessment or simply anyone who wants to go hiking with a qualified mountaineering Ireland course director and want to discover the Mourne mountains.

During those few days you will gain useful information, skills and tips that will help keep you safe on the hills and mountains during day time, at night, in bad weather condition or both.

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 waterproof 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.

Don’t forget to bring first aid kit with plaster and bandages, personal medicine, inhaler, epipen etc. 

 Maps of the area and a compass can be provided for the weekend. Have your phone fully charged too.

The hikes are graded as: moderate – difficult – strenuous

Some level of fitness is essential for those hikes which can be strenuous and up to 7 hours in duration.

The price per hikes is €35

Accommodation options will be provided upon booking.

The sooner you book the better.
