The Bootleggers
Hill Walking Club
WELCOME TO OUR WEBSITE
Who We Are
The Bootleggers Hillwalking Club was founded in 1984.
We are a diverse group of people with many different backgrounds and open to all.
We generally have hikes every Sunday in the Dublin/Wicklow mountains.
Throughout the year, we may also have trips for Club members on public holiday weekends to other parts of the country and occasional longer hiking trips abroad.
Hikes are led by Club members who are experienced hike leaders and we also organise Mountain Skills Training for Club members.
Information for New Members
We are currently welcoming new members over the age of 18 years. If you are looking to join a hillwalking club, we invite you to hike with us on a trial basis.
We recommend that newcomers join us for a maximum of 3 trial hikes to get a feel for the Club and see if it is the right one for you.
We encourage car pooling with up to 4 people travelling together to meet the leader at the agreed starting point of the hike. For those who don’t have their own transport, we can if necessary, organise to collect people on Merrion Square in Dublin city centre by prior arrangement. All passengers make a contribution to cover driver expenses.
Dogs or other pets are not permitted.
To arrange to join us for a trial hike, please email contact@bootleggers.ie giving us a brief outline of your hiking experience and whether you have your own transport or require collection in Merrion Square.
