WALKING ASSOCIATION
The Enniskerry Walking Association was formed in 2004 to protect traditional walking routes in the area and to promote walking for recreation, for health, as a safe alternative to car use, and to help us all to learn more about our locality.
Our popular Tuesday evening walks usually meet at the Spar in Enniskerry at 7 p.m. while the Saturday walks meet at 1.30 p.m. All, who are interested, adults or children, are most welcome. Walks vary in length but most last between one-and-a half and twoand-a-half hours; some (but not all) involve a bit of climbing.
Please wear appropriate warm and rain-proof clothing, and proper walking boots for the occasional muddy or rocky track. In the interests of walker’s comfort and safety participants are asked to respect the directions of the walk leader and stay between the leader and the anchor person.
The upcoming programme of walks is: this Saturday (December 30) – Rathmichael Church to Carrigollogan – approximately four miles, duration 2½ hours. Meet Outside Spar at 1.30 p.m. or Rathmichael Church, Shankill, at 1.50 p.m.
