The Cork Backpackers Club is one of the main hill-walking clubs in the Cork area, with a membership of over 200. The Club organises a day hike every two weeks, on the Sunday. There are four levels of walks; from the Introductory Walk (for those who would like to try out the sport) to the Long Walk (for the fit and agile), the emphasis being on participation and enjoyment.
The main focus of the Club is hill-walking, although various members are also involved in rock-climbing and cycling, throughout the entire year. There are even a few who will brave the elements to do Winter and Summer camps!
