"Joining Lee Valley Walking has introduced me to the delights of hill-walking. I've explored and enjoyed so many hidden treasures that lie almost on my own doorstep. Catherine's enthusiasm and passion for the environment ensures that we don't just walk the tracks that lead to the lakes and rivers, valleys and mountains but also take time to 'stop and stare' and admire the wonderful world around us. Through Lee Valley Walking I've had the opportunity to meet so many lovely, interesting people and to have lots of laughs along the way." Kathleen Aug 2010.

"I recently participated in a walk organised by Lee Valley Walking. It was a truly enjoyable experience. The guide knew the area and the history so well. The atmosphere in the group was welcoming and we walked at a pace that suited everyone in the group. A wonderful experience in a most scenic area. I look forward to taking part in more of the walks." G. Ryan March 2009

Irish language walks
Siuloidi as Gaeilge
Tá na siuloidi oiriúnach do dhaoine atá ag foghlaim na teangan.
Uaireanta is dócha go mbíonn eagla ar dhaoine atá ar bheagáin Gaeilge nách mbeidis in ann comhrá a choimeád le daoine atá lán líofa, agus ní bhíonn deis acu labhairt le chéile go neamhfhoirmúil.
Ní ranganna atá i gceist anseo in aon chor agus níl aon teagasc ar fáil. Deis atá ann chun muinín a thabhairt dóibh as a gcumas labhartha.

Participants in Lee Valley Walking events have found that walking ‘as Gaeilge’ or using the Irish language is an excellent way of improving their command of the spoken language in a relaxed atmosphere outside of the classroom.
All walks are Irish friendly and all it takes is two people with an interest in improving their ‘cúpla focal’ (or ‘few words of Irish’) to start up a conversation in the language. Bilingual events can also be arranged in english and ‘as Gaeilge’.

Introductory hill-walks
'Tús maith, leath na hoibre' - a good start is half the battle

If you've always wanted to start hill-walking but haven't plucked up the courage or if you simply haven't got round to it, this is your opportunity to get started.

Get fit and learn the basic hill-walking skills with introductory hill walks.
Time arranged to suit the participating group.
Put your name down for the next groups by emailing or phoning.
