The Midleton Hillwalking
Club was formed in March 2005.This is the first hillwalking club in the
greater East Cork area.
Following local
advertising the club received a huge response.Initially it was intended
to provide mountain and hill walks only but a considerable number of
members were interested in low level walks.Members come from
Cork City ,Glanmire and East Cork. The club has a wide range
of walks for it members. Every second Sunday we trek on the mountains
of South Munster .On alternative Saturday afternoons we walk locally in
the East Cork Region. These walks vary from cliff walks, track walks,
forest walks and riverside walks.
The Club are very
fortunate to have large amount of club leaders. Many have several years
experience with other clubs., but now reside in the East Cork area. Our
leaders play a huge role in the operation of the club. Their skills and
experience are vital and are highly respected by all the members.
Club rules and procedures
are very strict in the interest of safety and welfare of our walkers
while participating. All members must adhere to the guidelines and
instructions set out by the leaders at all times.
Since the formation of
our club with the co operation and involvement of its members ,it
really has been most successful.
