MountainViews gathering is open to all. Key guest speakers for the evening will be:

Dr Peter Mooney of Maynooth University who will talk about OSM.  If you don’t know it OSM stands for Open Street Map and is used as the basis for most of the online apps that hillwalkers frequently use.  OSM’s data is collected and curated by citizens, special interest groups, scientists and professional geographers from all around the world.

Michael Guilfoyle, Irish Times hillwalking writer and lifelong adventurer will talk about Coumshingaun to Vatnajökull (Iceland) and will touch on geology and his very varied experiences in Ireland and abroad.

There will be awards for list finishers and contributors.  There will be opportunities to meet fellow hillwalkers.  MountainViews has been involved in the creation of lists for summiteers such as the one used in Mountaineering Ireland’s “Irish Peaks” and will discuss this and new features in MountainViews.ie.
