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 >>

With the Winter Walking Festival behind us for another year it was back to normal club activity on Sunday last.
Numbers were relatively low, perhaps due to a certain rugby match, but for those who ventured out there were three
enjoyable walks to choose from.
William O'Neill led a group of 9 A walkers on a Galtee loop starting from Glengarra Wood. In mixed weather conditions they made the continuous
climb to Galtee Beag (799 metres). Descending and climbing again they took an easterly course along the ridge towards
Greenane (802 metres) and O'Loughlin's Castle before the final descent to Glengarra. Thanks to William for an enjoyable 16.5km loop completed in 4.5 hours.
Liam Doheny’s linear B walk was in the Comeraghs and covered a distance of 9.5km
in just over 4 hours.
