Schedule of Club Walks and Events

Contact Ciarán O'Brien, Walks Secretary, at info@galteewalkingclub.ie if you'd like to lead a walk of any level.
Information for Walkers: We advise you to text or call the walk facilitator in the days before the walk, but if you just turn up you can still take part. If you book a walk and find later that you can't make it, please let the facilitator know. Guest walkers are welcome for a maximum of 1 walk. Please do not leave money or any valuable items in parked cars at walk meeting points.
Information for Facilitators: You may receive bookings for your walk by text during the days before the walk. Please reply to each person to let them know the booking has been received. The sign-in sheet for walks can be printed from this Link. Please send walk sign in sheet to Pat Boland after every walk and any photos you would like to share.
Note: This page will not be updated after 22/03/2023 as we will be switching over to our new website soon. Please scroll down to the date of interest.
