Cahir Spring Trip 2022
At a recent committee meeting of the Kilbroney Ramblers, it was agreed that the Spring Trip for 2022 would be held between Sunday 3rd and Wednesday 6th of April.
While this event will not be officially launched until Friday 3rd December at our annual Christmas lunch, we can reveal that the accommodation will be provided in the Cahir House Hotel and that the cost of the three nights, dinner, bed and breakfast per person sharing will be €235.
A small number of single occupancy rooms will be available on a first come basis but these will attract an additional cost of €25 per night.
In the event that the trip is over subscribed, the committee reserves the right to prioritise those applications received from our members who regularly attend the weekly walks.
For reasons of health and safety on this trip, the final decision as to which walks an individual member may or may not undertake will rest absolutely with the club chairperson.
The Booking Form for the Cahir Trip is now available.

Members are asked to wear masks for the briefings, to maintain social distancing during the walk and to use hand sanitiser at styles etc.
We note that at this time the guidance in the Republic of Ireland and from Mountaineering Ireland does not allow people to travel beyond 20km from their home but we look forward to welcoming our members from there as soon as their Covid-19 restrictions allow.
