Description
-
This is a view west from Mweelrea (Cnoc Maol Réidh) towards Doovilra, Uggool, Inishdegilmore and Inishdegil Beg. At 814m the summit of Mweelrea is the highest point in Connacht.
In 2022 Michael Kane gave a vivid account of the activities of the Mountaineering Club in its early days. See 'Michael Kane's account of the Mountaineering Club c. 1971-72'.
The Mountaineering Club was established in 1970. Its membership in 2023 was over 1000.(Mountaineering Club, 'About us'). The Library archives contain a number of documents relating to the club. These were placed in the care of the University by Aengus Finnegan, Secretary 2010-2011 (Mountaineering Club, 'Archive').
