WAI History.

An exploratory meeting to see if there was interest in a new national hillwalking interest group was held in Dublin on the 28th April 2007. The meeting, held by the Irish Ramblers Club, heard about the background and the outlines of what the suggested grouping might do. These include a number of subgroups in areas such as cooperative holidays, technical interest, challenge walks and summit-bagging, photography, trail-repair etc with an overall binding provided by a website.
Some 50 people attended the meeting and strong support was expressed for the proposal.
