Training For Hillwalkers
The club actively encourages members to develop their walking skills through training and by assisting the more experienced leaders on walks. We organise a training programme each year. This helps participants to understand:
- Navigations Skills
- Route Planning
- Hazards of the Mountain
- Environment
- Emergency Procedures
- Basic Principles of Leadership
For those interested in further training, Dungarvan Hillwalking Club recommends an approved Irish Mountain Training Board Company, specialising in Guided Walks and Mountain Skills Training. Details can be obtained from Mountaineering Ireland website www.mountaineering.ie
