FáilteWelcome
Welcome to An
Óige
Hillwalkers Club website. Here you will find all the club's news and
information online including the latest programme of walks and events
organised by the club.
An Óige Hillwalkers Club was started in 1993 and is based in
Dublin, Ireland. The club organises a hike each Sunday on the Wicklow
and Dublin mountains for active walkers. Once a month the club
organises an Introductory Hillwalker Hike which allows non members to
try out a hike before joining the club.
After a day's hiking many of the hillwalkers like to socialise in The
Palace Bar on Fleet Street in Dublin City and enjoy a few social drinks!
The club produces a magazine called The
Hillwalker each month, which is posted or emailed to all
our members, and is posted online. The Website is now in its 9th year online, and
includes all issues of the magazine from that period in the Archive
section of the Menu on the left.
If after flicking through the rest of the site you have any queries,
our contact details can be found in the 'Contact Us'
section.
See you out on the hills!
