Lurker here

[Ewen1966]

Been a member since 2020 and a lurker before that.
I'm based in Ireland but am from Scotland and try to get home for some walking every year. A lot was put on hold over the lockdown but hopefully I can get to do the walks that were postponed. I was going to do the WHW in 2020...
I was a munro bagger but moved to one of the flattest countries in Europe in the 90s so that fell by the wayside. I bag local hills in Wicklow and the Slieve blooms but am getting more in to long distance walks.
Walk Highlands is a magnificent resource and I would just like to give my appreciation to all the mods and contributers here.

Hi Ewan,

I have an ambition to do some hill walking in Ireland. Hopefully get some movement there soon. Good luck with the WHW. Have completed it a couple of times, all I’ll say is start planning we’ll in advance. I would recommend the Harvey’s WHW map as an excellent planning tool. And the. Walk will hurt your feet more than anywhere else.

Cheers Calum.
I first tried the WHW when it opened. I was 14. Then 2020 and now maybe next year, maybe not.
Planning is half the fun
Some great areas for walking in Ireland. If you come to Wicklow, enjoy the bogtrotting

Thanks for the warning. Had a few practices here already so hopefully not too much of a shock.
