Welcome Bienvenue Bienvenido Willkommen Welkom
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
(Óige is Irish for Youth) 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!
