WEEKEND Guided Hike and Mountain Skills practice OCT 18-20

             Weekend guided/training hikes in the Comeragh – Galtees

This is a great opportunity for anyone who want to practice their mountain skills, improve their navigation skills or go on a guided hike with a qualified mountaineering Ireland course director and to discover Comeragh and the Galtees.

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, night time, in bad weather condition or both.

The hikes are graded as moderate to difficult.

What gear do I need to bring?

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.

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

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 €30

Accommodation in a dormitory is €20/ night , however, you will need to book a bed so, don’t hesitate to contact me for more information.

The sooner you book the better.
