A clear mountain stream flowing down from the Maumtrasna hills (part of the Partry mountains) in Co. Mayo – picture taken in late January.
The Galway Walking Club is in full swing again for 2010 – at the meeting last Thursday, it was calculated that of the 100 or so members, around 90 had participated in the organised walks over the previous 2 weeks. Actually, there are far more than 100 members, – that number refers only to the ones who have remembered to pay their subscription so far.
It is a very social club too – meetings consist mainly of planning the social events around the hikes, rather than the hikes themselves. So if you live in the Galway area, and fancy some exercise /fresh air/ impromptu mud baths / great views, why not join ? Okay, advert over. Members are expected to lead a walk [assuming they have some semblance of a sense of direction], so I will be leading a hike around Maumtrasna later in the spring. Nothing too strenuous and if the day is clear, superb views all around.
Looks so inviting…and clear…
Hi John, can non club members go on the hikes ?
It is somthing I would like to do some time.
