Guided Walks Essential for Beginners<\/p><\/div>\n
Who’d have thought you’d need to stuff so many items into a rucksack for a stroll in the hills, but sometimes the rolling mountains aren\u2019t all they seem…<\/p>\n
It’s been many years since I was on a decent hill walk, but with the slow realisation that the Blackstairs Mountains aren’t just for gazing at and that for the past 12 years we’ve stared over at a ramblers paradise, this year I made a decision to lace up the boots and head out across the purple heather. This was followed by an opportunity to work with Carlow Tourism to help to promote the Carlow Walking Festival<\/a> so even better, a guided walk to help me out of my hill walking hibernation.<\/p>\n
