Cork’s longest established Hill Walking Club.

(Cumann Sléibhteoireachta Chorcaí)

We are out every second Sunday and some Saturdays climbing on one of the main mountain ranges in the South – the Galtees, Reeks, Knockmealdowns, Comeraghs and so on.

There are usually two options on the day, the two groups getting together later for food or a drink at a local venue.   More Information on Walking

CMC embraces the Country Code, leaving nothing but footprints, taking only memories and photographs, hopefully enhancing appreciation of the wonders of nature in all seasons.

History of the Cork Mountaineering Club.

Cork Mountaineering Club was founded in 1975.  The club has been well served since then by the members who give freely of their time and effort to share our mountaineering and hillwalking outings in a relaxed and friendly way.

A committee was set up with a President, Secretary and Treasurer plus ordinary committee members. A constitution governing the conduct and structure of the club was drawn up.

It was decided to affiliate to the Mountaineering Council of Ireland thereby enjoying the benefits that would bring, including annual insurance cover and the quarterly MCI magazine ‘The Mountain Log’ as well as having a voice in issues pertaining to our activity. The quarterly club program was also introduced from the beginning.
