Welcome to the website for the Wayfarers Association Hillwalking club. We have over 250 members, mainly from Dublin although we have members from all corners of the country. As we are a Dublin based club we do most of our walking in the Wicklow/Dublin mountains area, but we also take regular trips to other parts of Ireland.
Each Sunday we have four hikes, a Short hike of 14k to 16k, an Intermediate hike which is usually 15k to 19k and a Long Hike, usually 19k+ geared towards those who like a tougher day in the mountains and which requires a high level of fitness. We also have an intermediate+ Hike, which is the same as the Long Hike, but done at a more moderate pace. Each hike is led by a club member. Club members are involved in a wide range of hillwalking/hiking/climbing activities, and those members also frequently organise trips away. Anyone over 18 is welcome to join or join us for an Introductory hike.
We hope you enjoy your visit to our website and if you are interested in joining the Wayfarers we would be delighted to hear from you. We organise Introductory Hikes from time to time for people who are interested in hiking and are thinking of joining the club.
If you're interested in joining the club, we have instructions here.
