TALK on Irish Summits, Areas and Bagging

On 24th February 2010 - Simon Stewart will give a talk on Summits and
Summiteering in Ireland (aka Hill Bagging) and related topics such as where are all the summit areas in Ireland and what are they like?

So if you are interested in exploring away from your local summit range you will find lots of interesting information about places you can visit or take your club to.

Over the last 12 months, the Walker's Association of Ireland has increased activity compared with the previous year. Slowly but surely it is becoming known as a strong resource in many areas as outlined below.
