hi there, i will be spending around three weeks in dublin between nov and dec. does anybody know about any walking / trekking clubs i could join to explore the wicklow area ?? thanks.

I think there are a few. But if you are with someone and have a mobile, get the OS map and to it youself, at your leisure. I think An Oige do some though.

If you're into hill-walking, check out this link, which has links to a bunch of different Irish hillwalking clubs: http://www.simonstewart.ie/morelink.htm. Also, Joss Lynam writes a number of good books about walks in Ireland/Dublin.
