An interesting and innovative Anniversary cake featuring one of our most often climbed mountains

Founded in the autumn of 1989, Mid-Ulster Walking Club celebrated its 20^th anniversary recently with Dinner at the Otter Lodge in Cookstown.

Following its original format of a Sunday walk every three weeks, the club has, over its twenty years , walked hill, mountain and coast throughout Northern Ireland, from the Mournes to Donegal, Rathlin to Sligo as well as enjoying annual spring and autumn trips to destinations such as Connemara, Kerry, Snowdonia and the Scottish Highlands. 
Some members have ventured even further afield with trips organized by, or within the club, to Europe, the Himalayas and South America. 
United by their enthusiasm for walking, A variety of people of different ages, backgrounds and personalities have donned their boots in the company of the club. 
Good times have been aplenty and many firm friendships, even a marriage, have been formed over the course of many miles tramped in fair weather and foul. 

Walking is recognized for its considerable benefits for both physical and mental well-being and the club attempts to provide walks suitable for a range of abilities. 
In recent years the club has added midweek walks to its programme and 2009 saw a successful and happy association with Cookstown District Council in support of its Spring and Autumn Walking Festivals. 

New members are always sought and warmly welcomed.
