Contact Ciarán O'Brien, Walks Secretary, at info@galteewalkingclub.ie if you'd like to lead a walk of any level.
Information for Walkers: We advise you to text or call the walk facilitator in the days before the walk, but if you just turn up you can still take part. If you book a walk and find later that you can't make it, please let the facilitator know. Guest walkers are welcome for a maximum of 1 walk. Please do not leave money or any valuable items in parked cars at walk meeting points.
Information for Facilitators: You may receive bookings for your walk by text during the days before the walk. Please reply to each person to let them know the booking has been received.
