Experience the Wicklow mountains on our special Full Moon walks!
These began in 2008 and will be still going well in 2013 with the feedback we are receiving from everyone. It is a spectacular opportunity to experience the mountains during a full moon. We will be doing walks that suit the experience of the group but you will be expected to walk for anything up to 3 to 4 hours depending on the walk location. This is a great insight into what goes on with our local wildlife at night-time. Your guide will bring you to some of the best view points over the mountains. Good examples of hikes we will be doing would be Camaderry, Derrybawn, and Turlough Hill etc. The walks will begin at around 7 pm in the winter & 9pm in the summer from an arranged starting point.
Contact our office staff to let you know the starting points. This is a great opportunity for hiking, night navigation and just experiencing the freedom that the mountains in the night can give you. Unmissable!
Price: €25 per person
Our next Full Moon Walk is Saturday July 24th
We will be meeting at the village of Blessington at 7:30 pm. This months walk will take you to the a beautiful and less well visited area of Wicklow. We will be approaching it from the north west on the military road. You will met by Emily at the car park on your right as you go into the village, just after the pub and in front of the entrance to the large shopping centre to take you on your adventure. The Extreme Ireland bus should also be in the park if not somewhere else driving around the mountains of Ireland.
We will be doing a circular walk of some of the mountains on the east side of the Wicklow Mountains.. Not to be missed! You will need good (broken in already) walking Boots, Something hot / cold to drink and a snack.. Rain Gear is essential - just in case. Wear suitable clothes for the weather on the night. Carry an extra layer in case it is a little colder after the sun goes down in a small rucsack if you feel it necessary . If you have a head torch bring it along with you as well. We have spare ones, but only a limited amount. Our Moon walks are for walkers that already have experience in the hills. You will be walking on the open mountain so prior experience on this type of terrain is expected. This walk anything up to 3 hours with time for a break en route.

Our last Full Moon Walk...
Our walk in June was led mightily by Keith and they took our adventurers on a walk in the west side of the Wicklow Moutain region of Wicklow. From there they went up and over some beautiful hills, a great walk. Everyone had a great time and lots of smiling faces at the end as usual! They even had time to play a geocaching game on the hill.
New friends made and another adventure behind us. Until the next one!
