Galtee Walking Club has been in existence since 2003 and was founded by a core group of hill walking enthusiasts from around the foothills of the Galtee mountains and the Glen of Aherlow in South Tipperary. They offer a number of different graded walks on a regular weekly basis throughout the year which are available to new members or to those wishing to join for an introductory hike.
The category A walks are for advanced hillwalkers and are the most challenging, taking in 5 – 7 hours on open mountain and forest track. The B walks are also for experienced walkers but of shorter duration, generally 4 hours and more moderately paced. And for those wishing to develop their hill walking skills, they offer category C walks which are of approximately two hours duration, mostly on forest tracks.
Weekly walks take place on Sundays from September to June and on Wednesday evenings throughout the Summer.
