Step up for County Down
#StepUpForCountyDown
  1. Is County Down your home county?
  2. Are you a rambler, hillwalker, hiker, mountaineer or mountain runner?
  3. Would you like to represent County Down in an all-Ireland sports league?

If you answered yes to all three of the above questions, we invite you to #StepUpForCountyDown in the High Point Ireland Counties League. If you wish to become a member of the County Down Highpointeering team, you can do so by visiting High Point locations during the High Point Ireland league year (1st January - 31st December), logging those visits on the Peakhunter smartphone app AND via our online Highpointeer Score Form no later than 31st December at the end of that league year. During the following January, the five highest point-scorers representing County Down will be identified as the County Down "High 5". Those five scores added together will become County Down's overall score in the league.

By representing the County Down Highpointeering team, you will also be representing the Ulster Highpointeering team.
