Hikes

The Club has been going on weekly Sunday hikes to the Burren, Connemara and other surrounding regions since the dawn of time (early 70's). These hikes have varied in routes taken over the years but the same favourites have been hiked by generations of club members. Over a single semester the club will have visited most of these locations. If looking for one to attend or trying to remember one you have previously attended have a read of some of our favourite bits of information and trivia of each hike below:

The Maamturks

The Maamturks range is the clubs bread and butter, joyous grassy hills of mud and more mud. The entire range encompasses a number of Sunday hike loations, which usually seek to complete the Southern end, the Middle of the range and Leenane Hill and associated peaks.

Maamtrasna

Do not go here. The true cursed mountain, it has been the only location from where the club has called mountain rescue (twice). The summit consists of a large, boring, soggy plateau. It apparently provides good low-visibility navigation practice however. For more information on this mountain see the Maamtrasna page.
