Take a walk across the mountains near the Tipperary/Waterford border

The annual Knockmealdown Crossing, organised by the Peaks Mountaineering Club, Clonmel takes place on Saturday April 13.

There will be three walks, catering for different levels of fitness. All walks start and finish at the Community Hall in the village of Newcastle, where a hot meal will be served at the end of each walk.

Registration costs €25, which includes the meal and transport to the start of each walk. Log onto www.peaksmcclonmel.ie for full information and to pre-register. Registration is also available on the day. 

Even if walkers are pre-registered, they must check in at the Community Hall in Newcastle, and must also check in at the finish of each walk to avoid a mountain rescue call out.
