Ashbourne hill walkers

[Hillwalk Ashbourne]

 

Dear All,

 

 

Ashbourne hill walkers are re- launching the club from 1st November 2015 and from

then those who wish to walk with us will have to be members. The main reason for the

change is that we intend to become a club affiliated to Mountaineering Ireland, which

will allow us join a group insurance scheme and get updates on the hiking scene in

Ireland.

 

 

All current email recipients of Hillwalk Ashbourne are invited to join and as always new

members are welcome. On receipt of this email if you wish to join, contact Fiona email

address hillwalk...@gmail.com and we will forward a simple membership

application form. The deadline for return of completed forms is 15 October. The

annual charge is €30 (payable by 1st November and covers the period 01/11/15-

31/10/16) which covers the cost of joining Mountaineering Ireland including the

insurance charge.

 

 

For those who are on the email list but have never joined us on one of our walks you are

invited to join us for 2 "taster" walks which will allow you judge if it’s for you, after

that you must become a member.

 

 

We are posting with this email the a schedule of upcoming walks for October and until

the end of the year. For the future, our walks will be every second Sunday weather

permitting and in the main will be Grade B walks. Unfortunately children are not

permitted on walks due to insurance restrictions.

 

 

There is always a risk of injury in any hill walking activity. To minimize this risk

all participants must select a walk suited to their level of fitness and stamina. You must

also have suitable weatherproof clothing, walking boots, personal first aid kit, food and

water. The weather can change very rapidly on these hills so, you must be prepared for

all conditions.

 

 

So have a look at the upcoming schedule and join us for a taster walk in the coming

weeks.
