This Novice Hike is a new(ish) grade of hike for the Mountaineering Club in response to feedback from ye, our members! This hike will be a little easier than our Beginner Hikes, with a clear path, a slow pace and not too much elevation gain. We'd especially recommend this hike to anyone who has been too nervous to join one of our hikes yet, anyone with absolutely no experience of hiking, or anyone who has tried a hike with us but found it a tad too tough.

We'll be hitting the Dingle Way, and will be treated to some stunning views over Dingle Bay and the surrounding hills and mountains. Length 13km, elevation gain 300m.

The bus is leaving the Western Gateway Building at 8 am sharp, so make sure to get there around 15 minutes before.
