Until further notice, the recommended guidelines to follow on ALL walks:

Please note well that the Social Distancing guidelines of the past 18+ months MUST continue to be observed when TRAVELLING TO, DURING and RETURNING FROM scheduled walks – i.e.

Before the walk: 

  • If you have any symptoms OR if you recently had contact with anyone with symptoms, then please stay at home !

  • If driving, please take *ONLY* passengers who live with you... 

  • |It is advisable to split the group into two if there are more than about 10 persons.

On the walk:

  • Keep a 2-metre distance from everyone else, therefore no clustering around maps,
    no group photos, no helping one another over stiles, no huddling on a bench for lunch. 

  • Uphill exertion means heavier breathing and therefore more risk. 
    Be particularly mindful of distancing if you or anyone else is puffing-&-panting.

  • Walk single file on paths too narrow for more than one person.

  • Always carry one or more Face-Masks with you - just in case.

  • Each person should have their own Hand Sanitizer to use after stiles etc. 

  • Avoid touching other people's gear (Walking Sticks, Rucksacks, etc).

After the walk: 

  • It’s advisable to quarantine your equipment for 3 days and/or sterilise it.

Plus:

  • It is essential to keep a contacts list just in case of disasters…  
    Just names & phone numbers should suffice.     (Plus car reg.numbers, maybe?)
    Best be done beforehand, electronically, to avoid sharing pens & scraps of paper.  


  1. B. BWG Walks normally take place on SUNDAYs, unless otherwise specified. Note also that we NORMALLY meet up at 08:00 AM for A & B walks and at either 09:30 or 10:00 for C walks. However, UNTIL the pandemic-related lockdown restrictions are abolished then a text message will be sent to members a day or two before each outing in which a “Whereabouts-en-route-we-will-all-meet” location will be specified. ( Hence all those “T.B.C” timetable entries above! )

Once ‘normality’ returns then so too will our old custom of
‘Meet-up-beforehand-in-Blarney’.

# BWG members usually meet near McElligotts Pharmacy in Blarney when leaving on outings. # Text-message notifications are sent to members a few days in advance of each walk.    # If you plan to attend a walk, please first confirm via text-msg to the walk leader.      # New members are welcome to come on three free walks before formally joining.         # Annual Membership is now €50

Please contact

Brian White, Secretary, 087 273 6232 ( Brian.O.A.White@GMail.com ) or

“Climb if you will, but remember that courage and strength are nought without prudence,
and that a momentary negligence may destroy the happiness of a lifetime.
Do nothing in haste; look well to each step; and from the beginning think what may be the end.”
