The Story So Far....
"Established in 2020 by local man Ken Delaney, the Mullingar Hiking Group had its first official outing on Sunday, September 13th of the same year. On that day, a handful of people tackled the picturesque Benbulben in Co. Sligo. Since then, the group has rapidly grown from a small number to over 100 members in less than a year. This inclusive group caters to individuals of all fitness levels, whether you aspire to wander the captivating boardwalks of Glendalough, Co. Wicklow or conquer the summit of Mont Blanc (France) at 4,809m. With annual trips to Snowdon (Wales) and Ben Nevis (Scotland), there are ample opportunities for everyone to embrace exciting challenges.
