Welcome Bienvenue Bienvenido Willkommen Welkom
Welcome to 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.
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 emailed to all our members and is posted
online on this website. The Website is now in its 11th year online, and
includes all issues of the magazine from 1993 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!
