The 11th annual Knockmealdown Crossing, organised by the Peaks Mountaineering Club, will be held on Saturday, April 7th.

The A walk is a led walk for fit hillwalkers, and is 20 kilometres long. Registration is from 8 to 8.45am and the bus leaves at 9am.

The B walk, a led walk on trails, requires a reasonable level of fitness, and is 15 kilometres in length. Registration is from 10.30-11.15am and the bus leaves at 11.30am.

The €25 entry fee includes a hearty meal served at the end of the walks, and all profits will be donated to charity.
