The High Point Ireland Awards

We offer the most diverse range of award categories currently available to Highpointeers and to the wider Irish walking community. In each of the annual categories, Gold, Silver and Bronze awards are up for grabs.

In addition to the annual awards, any individual walker who visits all locations on the Gribbon list of Ireland's major geographical High Points, or on any of its 16 sub-lists, can request a Certificate of Completion at any time of year. Each Certificate of Completion bears a Gold, Silver or Bronze award depending upon the photographic evidence provided (Gold or Silver only from 2019). Recipients of these awards will also be added to our Completers Register.

Individuals who make outstanding achievements (e.g. setting new records) can be awarded a Certificate of Excellence at any time of year. Each Certificate of Excellence bears a Gold award. Recipients of these awards will also be added to our Excellence Register.

If you are planning to visit any of the locations on the Gribbon list of Ireland's major geographical High Points, please be aware that Highpointeering, rambling, hill-walking, hiking, mountaineering, mountain running and cycling are risk sports. High Point Ireland, Kieron Gribbon (the website's author and founder of High Point Ireland) and Donard Media (the website's publisher) accept no responsibility for any injury, loss or inconvenience sustained by anyone using this website. Personal safety is entirely the participant's own responsibility.
The inclusion of locations on the Gribbon list of Ireland's major geographical High Points is based entirely on each location's ability to meet the necessary criteria for at least one of the eight primary sub-lists contained on this website. It should not be assumed that access is permitted to any of the High Point locations on the list. High Point Ireland, Kieron Gribbon and Donard Media recommend that anyone planning to visit any of the High Point locations on the list should check for potential access restrictions and to request permission from the relevant landowner(s) in advance.
