Mountain Adventures 74

Mountain Adventures 74 is an outdoor activity company based at Killcross, near Tullow in County Carlow. It offers guided hiking and mountain skills instruction, drawing on the ranges within easy reach of south Carlow, including nearby Mount Leinster and the Blackstairs Mountains, as well as the Wicklow Mountains and hills further afield such as the Comeraghs and Galtymore.

As a course provider recognised by Mountaineering Ireland and the Mountain Training Board, the company runs nationally accredited Mountain Skills courses at Levels 1 and 2. These are aimed at walkers who want to become confident, competent navigators, covering the use of map and compass in varied weather and terrain so that participants can head into the hills in Ireland, the UK and beyond with greater independence.

Alongside its training courses, Mountain Adventures 74 leads guided day hikes and weekend trips to walking destinations across Ireland, from Kerry and Connemara to Donegal. Guided outings are offered in more than one language, making the walks accessible to a wider range of visitors, and the guides hold mountain leader qualifications for Ireland and the UK together with first aid certification.

Full details of upcoming hikes, courses and events are best confirmed directly with the company through its website and social media channels before you plan a visit.
