About us
About the Group
Welcome! This is a group for people who love scenic drives, hiking, nature, small villages, and slow travel.
If you enjoy exploring mountains, coastlines, countryside roads, and discovering hidden viewpoints, you’ll fit right in.
I organize day hikes, road trips, photo stops, sunset walks, and spontaneous mini-adventures. Most activities are easy to moderate, focused on enjoying the outdoors rather than rushing or competing.
Who it’s for?
Solo travellers, expats, locals, photographers, nature lovers, and anyone who wants good company on the road. Friendly vibes, relaxed pace, no pressure.

Mountain Skills 1 Course
Location not specified yetMountain Skills for Only €120 / course
Ever wanted to learn the skills you need to become a competent navigator in the Irish mountains, the UK, the Alps or beyond!
As a fully qualified mountain guide and course provider for Mountaineering Ireland and the UK, I run Mountain Skills which is a nationally accredited course and is delivered in an upland environment.
Hiking in Ireland can be challenging not only because of its wilderness, but the island has very little sign posted hiking trails in the mountains or hills. In addition to this, as being an island in the Atlantic we experience the forces of nature; storms and weather events. In other words, Ireland is probably the best place in Europe to learn a new outdoor skill like Mountain Skills.
The aim of this course is to help you learn the skills you need to get out hiking in the hills and mountains independently, safely and responsibly. You will learn how to navigate with confidence by any type of weather conditions.
A Mountain Skills course is run over 2 days in an upland environment and covers:
Map reading, map description, map scale, contour lines, land and ground features, navigation legs, simple navigation techniques, setting the map, the 5 D, estimation of direction & destination, grid reference, mountain hazards, hypothermia, mountain environment, timing, pacing, route planning, route card, emergency procedures, personal equipment, safe movement skills, river crossing and much more…
Some level of fitness is essential in taking part in this course.
Each course (MS1 / MS2) is a 20 hour syllabus which includes indoor and outdoor sessions and night navigation (MS2)
A course includes:
Maps and compass provided, tea breaks, course notes, 3 route cards, a free hiking day practice as part of a weekend.
For Only €100 for under 18 and students and €120 for adults.
