Welcome to the Galtee Walking Club
Hello and failte to the Galtee Walking Club, Cnocadoiri na nGaltee. Our club has been in existence for going on ten years and was started initially by a core group of hill walking enthusiasts who were born and raised around the foothills of the Galtee mountains and the Glen of Aherlow in south Tipperary. Since then, it has grown and diversified and currently has a membership of over 150, drawn from all over Munster. We offer a number of different graded walks on a regular weekly basis throughout the year which are available to new members or to those wishing to join us for a one off sample hike. Read more >>

Strong winds were the main weather feature to contend with on the hills of Tipperary on Sunday last on what was, otherwise, a dry, crisp and sometimes sunny day. Both the A and B groups started from Clydagh Bridge. The A walkers, led by Paul Ryan, completed the 14km Galtee Horseshoe in 4.5 hours. A lively pace took them up past the grassy knoll to Lake Curra before climbing the gully and following the wall to Galteemore. A quick break for lunch, then it was down to the col and on to Galteebeg where hanging about was not an option due to the strong wind. The return leg brought them down the Geisha Steps and up and over Cush and back to Clydagh Bridge. Paul wants to thank all 14 walkers for the craic ant the company and welcome Sean and Solenn on their first outing to the horseshoe. Read more >>
