Dublin City University
Hiking Society

Welcome to the DCU Hiking Soc

The DCU Hiking Club was set up in 1990 with just 20 members. Over the years it has grown into one of the biggest outdoor clubs in Dublin City University. We currently have over 120 active members this year, most of which are foreign Erasmus students. We pride ourselves on promoting the natural beauty of Ireland in a enjoyable and relaxed atmosphere. The Hiking club aims to make Ireland's hidden treasures available to students who have little or no hiking experience. Being students ourselves we understand that money is scarce, and as such have developed a schedule that will test any experience but not burden the pocket. Check out our photo page to see just exactly what we've been up to!
