What do we do?
The club organises regular trips to good walking areas of the country. These events are organised by the local branch of the club, such as the Munster Branch for example, who would host the event. There is hoped to be four regional branches, Ulster, Munster, Leinster and Connaught. Interested people can join in their local outing, or travel to another part of the country and participate in a different event in a new locality, which would be organised in co-operation with the members located in that area. There may be more than one event in each area on the same day, as people can choose not to travel too far within the province. The events would be advertised by various means, such as on the notice boards of the churches of active club members as well as by word of mouth, and by the publishing of an events notice which would be posted to members each quarter.
Events will cater for the widest possible interest in outdoor walking. From events suitable to families with children, to experienced mountaineers who may wish to take in a winter ice assault on the faces of some of Europe's more demanding mountains. The variety of events will depend on the variety of experience of the members who take on the responsibility to organise and/or host an event.
Primarily the events will be in the hill-walking category, covering the highest peaks and ridges of hills in Ireland. Coastal and lowland walks are also organised to cater for the more relaxed participants. Special weekends would cater for a wider variety of walks to suit the wishes of participants.
Our aim is to keep costs down to a reasonable level. We share transport whenever possible.
We would like to invite you to come as a guest to one of our events, so that you might experience for yourself the enjoyment that can comes from enjoying God's creation with other Christians.
Come and stand with us, with your feet on the rock.
Climbing and mountaineering are activities with a danger of personal injury or even death. Participants in ICMC activities should be aware of this, be willing to accept the risks and be responsible for their own actions and involvement.
