A Hillwalk Schedule

‘A’ hillwalks are typically 10-18 km in length with 800-1200 m accumulated ascent, lasting 5-7 hours. Only walkers with sufficient experience (i.e. several B hillwalks or equivalent) are allowed to participate, as a high level of stamina is required and the terrain can be challenging. All hillwalkers are advised to study the club’s Guidelines for Walkers. The A hillwalk organisers are Aoife Fallon and Bryan McCabe.
