Leader’s Note:
A straightforward walk on the slopes of Annaloughlan Mountain including the summit of Slievenaglogh and Mullaghattin and back through Rockmarshall forest.
1) Please ensure that, at the very least, you have either hiking boots or walking shoes (no trainers), and depending on the weather forecast – multiple layers including a warm jacket/fleece, hat and gloves, a waterproof jacket and trousers, a flask with a hot drink, sandwiches/snacks, a litre of water and a small rucksack. If you are unsure about your gear check with leader a few days beforehand as anyone turning up with inadequate gear will not be permitted to walk.
2) It is highly recommended that you do not wear any clothing made from DENIM/CORDUROY/COTTON on the hike.
3) The club is a supporter of the ‘Leave No Trace’ campaign so please ensure that you leave no litter (of any sort) on the hike route.
4) NEVER go ahead of the Leader without being sure of the way!
5) If you take a lift, we have the custom of giving €5 each to the driver to cover fuel and to cover fuel and tolls.
