Peaks News
Next week, Sunday 23 September we venture into the Galtees with Ray Prendergast 0866091017 leading the 10:00 crew and the Anthony Doyle / Noreen McCarthy team leading the 12:00 walkers, both groups leaving Eldon's, Dillon Street at the appointed time. The 12 noon walk is most suitable for perspective members who wish to give the sport a trial.
f the weather is anything like last Sunday, when we visited the Knockmealdowns, the views will again be spectacular. However, it was not the excellent weather, the views or even the Dragon Flies and hawks that were the main topic of conversation among the members last week on the mountain, rather it was how to secure accommodation in Newcastle, Co. Down for the club's away trip to the Mounre Mountains on the October bank holiday weekend, Fri. 26th Oct. to Mon. 29th as the Golf Links House Hotel may be full to overflowing with the early bird members. But never fear - nobody will be left out in the cold. A phone call to Eileen on 0044 28 4372 2054 will, most likely, get you sorted with suitable alternative acommodation.
Peaks Website is under reconstruction at this time so please accept our apologies for the dearth of up to date information on forthcoming walks and reports of our latest activities. The club is fully active and new and renewing members are most welcome to bring themselves and their walking attire to Eldon's any Sunday morning for a ten o'clock (experienced) or noon (regular) start to meet up with the walking groups.

Mountain Skills Success!
Congratulations to the 10 Peaks Club members who successfully completed their Mountain Skills Assessment over the weekend.
They had a very challenging two days on the mountains, plus a night navigation session that kept them out well beyond midnight on the Saturday.
Well done to all concerned, it was a great achievement.
