Welcome to the Galtee Walking Club
Hello and failte to the Galtee Walking Club, Cnocadoiri na nGaltee. Our club has been in existence for going on ten years and was started initially by a core group of hill walking enthusiasts who were born and raised around the foothills of the Galtee mountains and the Glen of Aherlow in south Tipperary. Since then, it has grown and diversified and currently has a membership of over 150, drawn from all over Munster. We 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 us for a one off sample hike. Read more >>

Excellent weather conditions prevailed for our Sunday walks. It was clear skies, lively breezes and sunshine all the way, making for a most enjoyable day out for the club on their annual trip to the river Barrow in Kilkenny. At 9am, Breda and Noel Brown had two buses ready in Market Yard, Tipperary Town, to take the 24 club members, to the start of the walk in Boris, where Liam Doheny and his son, Shane were there to meet them and lead the walk along the beautiful Barrow river to St Mullins. It is a lovely stretch of river with excellent footpaths and overhanging trees, ducks, swans and herons and time worn locks and always busy with with kayaks, cyclists and walkers. For those choosing a shorter walk, Liam arranged to meet some of the group in Clashganny, meeting up with the main group in St Mullins for a welcome tea in the sunshine. A glorious day out with much appreciation to Amelia who coordinated the buses and to Liam and Shane for their efforts as facilitators. Read more >>
