Walking - Scramblers

This is a monthly walk in the Mournes to get those leg muscles and lungs working and experience beautiful views in great company. A good level of fitness and the right equipment are essential. Usually 7-9 miles hill walking. We take a packed lunch and meet at central points to car share. We are not averse to sharing a convivial meal in a good hostelry on the way home.

This group meets on the first Thursday of each month. 10.30am start but meet to car share earlier.

A limerick about Binian
In my very humble opinion
The nicest Mourne Mountain is Binian
It gets my top scores
For its great craggy tors
Over all peaks it holds clear dominion.

Measures to protect against COVID 19

  • We are socially distancing by staying 2 meters apart,
  • We do not share cars to travel to the start of the walk
  • We divide the group into smaller groups according to current regulations.

Please note:
The Third Age Trust’s Public Liability Insurance covers u3a members while out walking, but does not provide personal accident insurance. Participants on walks (including guests) should take responsibility for their own care, safety and equipment. They should remain with the group.
