Join us on what will be a fantastic weekend in Eire hiking some of the best Mountains within the British Isles, with amazing views and some of the best hiking routes if not the best you will encounter within Ireland, all walks led by myself and a local guide at a relaxed friendly pace where we will enjoy the surroundings, take lots of pictures and make fantastic memories.
The weekend starts off on Friday Morning where we all meet for the first time and head up the classic Tomies Mountain, also known as Purple Mountain due to the purple colour the sandstone gives off which the the Mountain is made of.
The walk starts at the Gap of Dunlop and takes us past Coosaun Lough. A total distance of 11 miles and 3255ft Ascent.
Friday night there will be a chance to relax and meet up for a few Guinness in a local bar with traditional Irish music, getting our iron intake for the big day to follow.
