Bring a backpack… stay for the craic!

Just 9 days to our Christmas Walk and we are super excited to extend a warm invitation to everyone who has been part of the Gap journey over the last 12+ years, whether you walked once… or more regularly with us, whatever your engagement has been, we’d like you to join us on Dec 28th as we celebrate our long overdue 10th anniversary, (Covid got in the way)…we are walking (and partying) in style and we would love it, if you were a part of that!

Meet at the Gap O’ the North Pub for registration on the morning from 11:30 am, walk starts sharply at 12 noon. This year it is “an adult only affair” so walking a little further but keeping to forest paths and trails and suitable for new walkers. We will be stopping for lunch, so bring a packed lunch and a drink. The walk will last around 3 hours, arriving back at the Gap for 3:00/3:15 pm. Mulled wine and festive treats will be served in the Beer Garden on return with music starting up around 3:30 pm and playing late into the wee hours.

So whether a current or past member, or hoping to join soon, bring a friend, (and a backpack) and stay for the craic! We look forward to catching up with old friends and making some new ones.

This year our “Away Trip”, is the 14th-16th October, when we will travel to the Comeragh Mountain range in Waterford. We have stunning… but challenging walks planned for both groups… so in the lead up to October we will be planning our Walk’s Schedule to include more challenging walks, in particular the descents!
The “Away Trip” is open to all fully paid up members, booking will open shortly and will be filled as always on a “first come, first served basis”.
We recommend that all members planning to travel to Waterford make the effort to attend all walks in the lead up to October starting with our next walk Slieve Gullion on the 14th August, meeting at Gap O’ the North Pub, Jonesborough @ 10 am.
