Evening Swim Killiney
We’ll meet at **7:00 PM** to start our swim. I’ve finally decided to get back into swimming at this famous spot this year!
**Meeting point:** once you arrive at the White Hut, walk down the steps and you’ll find us on the **left-hand side**. Please note that the meeting point is **at the bottom of the steps on the left**, not at the top.
If you’d like, feel free to bring something to drink or some biscuits so we can enjoy them together afterwards.
The water is still not very warm, so please come prepared. Also, this is a **pebble beach**, so we strongly recommend wearing sandals, water shoes, or neoprene socks when entering the water.
I will be limiting this event to **14 participants**. I know this may seem a little inconvenient, but there are many other events available within this group.
We kindly ask everyone attending to behave respectfully towards the organiser. Please remember that organisers are volunteers, and it is your responsibility to check practical details such as how to reach the meeting point, public transport options, parking, and any other relevant information before attending.
A respectful and considerate attitude towards the organiser is expected at all times.
Looking forward to seeing you there!

Phoenix Park
This is a looped walk of the Phoenix Park. It includes the memorial gardens and Chapelizod, beginning and ending at Garda H.Q. Parking is available at the start point and No. 11 bus terminal is close by. Remember, all walkers are responsible for their own health and safety.
Spice Bags & Canal Chats
We're taking advantage of the summer weather with a casual lunchtime meetup that combines two local favorites: a proper spice bag and a stroll along the Grand Canal.
This Thursday, NomadÉire is keeping things simple with a relaxed lunchtime meetup at Xi'an Street Food, followed by a walk down to the Grand Canal.
Whether you are a digital nomad, remote professional, entrepreneur, creative, founder, visitor, or simply looking to connect with an amazing community, come join us. This is the perfect low-pressure opportunity to meet new people, expand your network, make friends, exchange ideas, discover opportunities, or just enjoy a sunny afternoon in great company.
What to expect:
• Lunch at Xi'an Street Food, home to one of Ireland's most beloved spice bags.
• A leisurely walk to the Grand Canal to soak up the summer weather and enjoy some of Dublin's best scenery.
• Casual conversations with fellow NomadÉire members from all over the world.
• A relaxed afternoon outdoors with no agenda, no pressure, and plenty of opportunities to connect.
We'll meet at Xi'an Street Food (28 South Anne Street, Dublin D02 DX39) at 12:30 PM. Depending on the size of the group and seating availability, we may grab our food to go and head straight to the canal.
Come alone or bring a friend. Either way, you'll be warmly welcomed and quickly introduced to the group.
Looking forward to seeing everyone for a relaxed afternoon of food, conversation, and community.
Meet up, Warm up, and Get Moving to Get Fit :)
We will start the session with some light stretching exercises to warm us up, and help to prepare us for the run. The pace of the run will be steady, depending on who is running with us on the day.
Days when we have a large group we may break into multiple groups, each operating independently at their own pace.
Saturdays are good for intermediate runners, and is usually a 10km run, again at a steady pace.
If you're looking to get into running, come along on Tuesday or Thursday mornings and I will coach you, at your pace, to get you up to running (jogging) to 5km without stops. The only thing I will ask, if you're a beginner, is that you're able to walk for approx 30 minutes at a relaxed pace.
PLEASE NOTE: That, if you RSVP a particular event, then please ensure that you attend, as there may be other members relying on you for company on the run.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Any run or activity that you participate in with the group will be at your own risk.
Usually we have a post run (after our cool down) coffee in the Dash container at the Hole in the Wall pub.
Let's Be Honest Together (at Third Space, Smithfield)
⚠️
1. Venue: [Third Space](https://maps.app.goo.gl/PmYZgQURX9Ebcihq5) (Smithfield)
2. Start time: 7:30PM
This event has a different topic each time and includes a variety of interactive exercises. It's an engaging and creative way to express ourselves, and connect with how others think, feel and deal with life. We will aim to provide a supportive and safe environment and open up about our lives freely.
A lot of times we don't talk about what we are really going through because we are worried of what people might think of us. This causes us to bottle things up, feel disconnected with the people around us or feel ashamed of ourselves.
Anything you share in the session is confidential and shall not be disclosed outside of the room.
Please only RSVP if you intend to come and change your RSVP to 'No' if you are not going to be able to attend.
**PRICE**: 5 € to cover costs (Revolut/Cash/Paypal). Please pay the fee after the event.

Mountain Skills 1 Course
***Mountain 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.**
Accommodations can be provided
Her are few additionnal dates:
Jan 24-25 MS2 Glenmalure, Co.Wicklow
Feb 11-12 MS1 Comeragh, Co.Waterford
March 21-22 Glenmalure, Co. Wicklow
March 28-29 Glenmalure, Co.Wicklow
April MS1 18-19 Glenmalure, Co,Wickow
