Trekking with Kids

Join us in Nanny O’ Sheas on the 4th if May for a relaxed evening of unplugged music, where we share songs, laughs and a love for all things musical. Whether you're a seasoned performer or stepping out of your bedroom with your first song, this is a space to play, listen, and connect. **New to performing?**







We want to create space that is especially welcoming to first-time performers. If you're new to sharing music, know that this is a no-pressure, supportive space where beginners are encouraged and we value having fun over perfection! **How it works:** * It’s unplugged and intimate. We go around in a song circle - each person gets a turn to play one song per round. You’re welcome to sit out a round if you prefer. * Singers welcome - no instrument needed. Go acappella or ask for accompaniment. * Covers, originals, instrumentals - all styles welcome. **A few practical notes:** * RSVP is essential in order to perform. * Plus one’s are welcome RSVP only required for musicians. * Can’t make it? Please update your RSVP so someone else can join. * Respect the performers: stay quiet during songs, and use breaks between rounds to grab a drink or step out. * The venue is free so we encourage you to support the bar by grabbing a drink. * The room we will be in is semi-private - patrons may wander in and listen from the back of the room. **Tips jar on the night
**


This helps cover the Meetup fee that hosts pay out of pocket (around €17/month). No pressure to contribute (but it helps keep things running)

Hi All, the hike is at 1pm tomorrow 04/05/26 (weather permitting ⛈️❌) in Ticknock Forest and doing the 3 rock trail ⛰️. All are welcome. I think the hike will be approx 2 or 3 hours. After the hike we might go get food in Dundrum 🍲. Some people are interested in watching the Devil Wears Prada 2 there in the cinema 🎥, this would depend what time we get off the hiking trail / showtimes etc. Please wear appropriate clothing and bring a change of clothes, any lunch or snacks you might need Conscious a lot of people don't have the use of a car so this is the closest area we can think of in the Dublin/Wicklow mountains that has public transport around. The nearest bus stop is Kingston bus stop in Ballinteer number 2975 & 5171 which is served by the 16, 74 & S8 busses https://maps.app.goo.gl/t2Pz4tfVYFZavkU7A. We will be meeting at 1pm in Ticknock Forest Carpark beside the Biking.ie rental shop / Trails Café https://maps.app.goo.gl/ULr3XruhDHhdPg887 if people drive they can go directly there if not we will see you here at 1pm. Please plan accordingly and for any drivers please offer lifts where possible. This is an open event so pass on to anyone 🙂 For further details on the hike see https://www.alltrails.com/trail/ireland/dun-laoghaire-rathdown/three-rock-wood-and-ticknock-loop?sh=6r7do5&utm_medium=trail_share&utm_source=alltrails_virality[Bus](https://maps.app.goo.gl/t2Pz4tfVYFZavkU7A)[Ticknock Forest](https://maps.app.goo.gl/ULr3XruhDHhdPg887)[All Trails Hike Info](https://www.alltrails.com/trail/ireland/dun-laoghaire-rathdown/three-rock-wood-and-ticknock-loop?sh=6r7do5&utm_medium=trail_share&utm_source=alltrails_virality)

Kindly understand that This is Not an online event. We created this for the people to communicate with each other (in the comment section) to find their travel mates. However, since the Meetup site requires a date and time. We constantly have to update the date and time to keep the event alive. **Dear friends,** If you have plans to travel somewhere in the world, and you are looking for a travel mate/roommate, you can post it here to let others know, and maybe you can arrange to travel together. It would probably be a good idea to meet up before deciding to travel together but at least this will give you a chance to find a like-minded travel mate. **How to Choose the Right Travel-mate** 1. Have some common interests. 2. Avoid people who tend to extremes. 3. Agree on expenditures before you leave. 4. Make sure your personalities 5. Friends aren’t always good travel companions 6. Don’t go backpacking with a luxury-seeker 7. Make sure you’re able to communicate 8. Agree on a similar budget 9. Avoid picky, crazy and whiny individuals 10. Test each other on a short trip 11. You don’t have to be like a couple of inseparable lovebirds Good Luck and Cheers, Ree & Smyl
