The Feel Good Factor

Beautiful walk today to Ben Crom lead by the fabulous Alwynne Shannon .

Have loved watching the progression of these ladies climbing over the summer months clearly having benefited from our sported funding!

Looking forward to Autumn for the Hillwalking and Mountain biking Training🥰

Super Leadership Day funded by Mountaineering Ireland for club development grants.This was for our FGF club coaches involved in leading our club hillwalks.

Claire Hardy our trainer, was her usual brilliant self and helped us to explore aspects of leading that are very relevant to our group. Good luck to those who are going for assessment too. Nice one Hilda Hope for securing the funding.

Great day at Hushfest in Wicklow today!
Well done Louise on another Podium!

Four FGF ladies out practising night navigation last night under the watchful eye of Margaret McLaughlin.

As part of our drive to increase the skills and confidence in the women in the club we have funding from Sported NI to mentor club members. The game plan is these women will become more self reliant in the sports we do, and hopefully in turn share their skills and knowledge too.

Last night the climbers were looking at technical skills on Wee Roosley with the fab Mountain Instructor Claire Hardy.

We are always keen to support women on their leadership pathways and know preparation is underway for several ladies doing their Mountain Leader assessment this summer.

Over the next few months the Mountain bikers and hillwalkers will also be getting opportunities to upskill too! Brilliant opportunities! Thanks sported and the funding team, Rachel Annan Brenda Nugent🥰

The ladies were on 🔥today, a good stretch of the legs over Hare's Gap, the Brandy Pad, Slieve Commedagh and back over c
Corragh and Slievenagloch. 13.3 km 930 m elevation. Fair play to you all🙌

Some of The Feel Good Factor mountain bike ladies had a brilliant day in Slade over the weekend at the ladies social enduro. Well done Orla Brown on her podium🥳🥳.

Our new mtb jerseys are looking fab! Well done ladies👌👌 thanks to Karen Coulter for getting these for us!
