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.
