Clonakilty Hillwalking ClubWelcome to the official website for Clonakilty Hillwalking Club. Here, you will find the club's latest updates and news, as well as our schedule of walks and events. The club organises hillwalks on a fortnightly basis, usually on Sundays. We provide two levels of walks: B-walks for the moderate hillwalker usually lasting 4 to 5 hours and A-walks which are a bit more strenuous, could involve some scrambling and may take longer. Our walks take us mainly to the beautiful hills of West Cork and Kerry, and occasionally to the Galtees, the Comeraghs and the Knockmealdowns. We also organise weekends away and an overseas trip each year. If you are interested in joining Clonakilty Hillwalking Club or have any questions, please feel free to get in touch with us using the contact form provided.
For information about walks organised by other clubs affiliated to Mountaineering Ireland, please click here www.mountaineering.ie/members/clubview/findclub/ Our club recently purchased a small portable CellAed defribillator ( wt. less than 500g )for taking on our hillwalks along with the First Aid equipment. The defibrillator ( black and red in colour), can only be used once and then must be replaced. For training purposes only we also bought a CellAed Trainer ( yellow in colour), which can be used multiple times. The total cost was 470 euros. The following link is to the training video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBsacIUCUyE We would like to gratefully acknowledge the grant received through Cork County Council’s Local Enhancement Program 2024, which enabled us to acquire this potentially lifesaving equipment. Our thanks to Cork County Council, West Cork Local Community Development Committee and the Department of Rural and Community Development. |
