41 ABOUT THE AUTHOR Anne Morrissey has been a member of the Irish Ramblers’ Club since 1990 and is the current president of the club. She “compleated” the Scottish Munros in 2011 and the Irish Arderins and the Vandeleur-Lynams in 2023. In between, she has walked in Europe, Panama, Japan, South East Asia and Colorado. THE IRISH RAMBLERS’ CLUB The Irish Ramblers’ Club was founded in 1964 and is one of the oldest and largest clubs in Ireland, with almost 700 members. Hiking on a Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, we have a wide range of hikes to suit every level of fitness. While we usually walk in Wicklow, club members have their favourite hikes in the Cooleys, the Mournes, the Slieve Blooms and the Blackstairs, all of which are reachable on a day trip from Dublin. Longer trips within Ireland and abroad are also organised by volunteers from within the club. Finally, we offer in-club training in mountain skills to all new members and basic leadership training to existing members. For more information see www.theramblers.ie. MOUNTAIN LOG HILLWALK ROUTES ➠ Would your club like to submit a hillwalking route for publication in the Irish Mountain Log, to showcase the mountains where your club walks regularly? If interested, please contact Ruth Whelan to discuss at [email protected].
