Sunday Walks

The club has five grades of Sunday walks, A, B, C and B+ walks in mountain terrain and Sunday Rambles mostly on track. There are walks most Sundays of the year. Exceptions will be July and August, and the weekends of the Spring and Autumn Challenges.

Sunday Walks Organiser is Eoin Wolahan (087) 978 6405

A Walks every second Sunday (except July/August)

These are high level walks leaving from Mother Hubbard’s in Cashel at 10am every second Sunday. High level walks are approx. 4-5½ hour in duration. They will take in the highest summits and may include some scrambling or easy / moderate gullies.

B Walks every second Sunday (except July / August)

These are hill walks of 4-5 hour duration on mountain terrain, perhaps reaching high peaks but at a slower pace than the A walks. They leave from Mother Hubbard’s in Cashel at 10am every second Sunday.

C Walks every alternate Sunday (except July / August)

These are hill walks of 3-4 hour duration on mountain terrain, but will not be aiming for high mountain summits. They leave from Mother Hubbard’s in Cashel at 10am every second Sunday (alternate to the B walks)

B + Walks every second Sunday (except July / August)

These are hill walks of 4-5½ hour duration on mountain terrain. The pace is between that of the A and B walks. They leave from Mother Hubbard’s in Cashel at 10am every second Sunday (alternate to the A and B walks.)

Sunday Rambles every fourth week all year round.

The Sunday Rambles are low-level walks, mostly on forest track, and are approx. 2-2½ duration and take place every fourth Sunday all year round. The meeting point for each walk is notified in advance.

Other Sunday activities

Gullies

Occasionally on a Sunday, an additional walk taking in a challenging gully will be organised. This will require helmet and harness (which it may be possible to borrow) and may involve rope-work.

July / August Sundays

There will be no regular scheduled Sunday walks from Cashel from the 29th June until early September in 2025, (with the exception of Rambles which take place every 4 weeks, all year round.) Instead, walks may be organised at different times or to different parts of the country (e.g., Kerry, Wicklow, Galway etc). If any club member would like to organise or lead any such walk, or has an idea for such a walk, please let us know.
