Training For Hill Walkers
 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
Club training is also a useful primer for Irish Mountain Training Board approved courses, such as Mountain Skills 1 & 2. For those interested in further training, Dungarvan Hillwalking Club is happy to recommend Mountaincraft, an Irish Mountain Training Board approved company, specialising in Guided Walks and Mountain Skills Training. Established by qualified Mountain Leader and Club member, Donal Bray.
