Wexford Social & Walking Club
An informal group of locals who meet for a social walk, usually along Wexford's stunning beaches or woodlands, followed by coffee and chats in a local café. Perfect for making new friends.
When and where
Wexford Social & Walking Club meets every Sunday at 10:30 AM. It meets at Various beaches and coastal paths (Curracloe, Raven Wood), Wexford Coastline, Co. Wexford.
Times and venues do move, particularly at the start of a new season and around bank holidays, so it is worth confirming the next date with the group before travelling.
What to expect
Wexford Social & Walking Club runs regular group walks in and around Co. Wexford. The single most important thing to check before your first outing is the grade of the walk. A harder grade typically means four to six hours over rough, unmarked ground with real ascent, while an easier one means a few hours on tracks and lanes. Turning up to the wrong grade is the most common reason people do not come back.
Bring boots with ankle support, a waterproof jacket and trousers regardless of what the forecast says, food and more water than you expect to drink. Irish hill weather turns inside an hour, and club walks generally go ahead in rain as a matter of course.
Many clubs will take you on a trial walk before you commit to membership. Check the grade, the start time and the expected finish with the group first, and tell someone at home where you are going.
Who it suits
Walkers who want company and routes they would not find alone. Match the grade to your current fitness and hill experience rather than to your ambition.
Going along
We do not have a booking link for this one, so it is worth searching for the group locally to confirm the next date before travelling.
