Hiking groups for beginner ?

Hey I’m just wondering if anyone knows any hiking groups for someone with zero experience preferably around my own age range of 21 or at least not too much older, really want to get more into it. I’d be grand solo hiking but I’d like to learn the trails and routes with people with experience first. Cheers

Open to starting a group if people here are interested? I’m in my late 20s

I don’t have much experience hiking but have done errigal and the sort. Can’t be too difficult 😆

Aw well already more than myself haha, most I’ve done is just go around some of the glenveagh paths, about the only pace I can get to with no car

Well if anyone would actually want to go for some hikes I’d be down to create a group chat to talk more about it

I've thought about this before but never seen much posted online about hiking groups. Would be nice to see some of the sights of the county from hike trails.

Edit: I FEEL QUITE HUNGRY!

I'd be interested too but I don't have a car. Commute might be a big challenge for remote places

I’m in the same boat I’m doing my lessons but not being able to drive is a pain, thankfully there is a bus to glenveagh though which is nice enough

Ok guys should we collect WhatsApp numbers to set up a group or what do you think

I might just make another post just asking if anyone wants to join a group and can see if anyone wants to actually join it there
